To be fair to AI we ask to rewrite our lead paragraph. Here is chat.openai.’s attempt. Better or worse?
“In this episode of Reality Coaching for Writers, we delve into the question of whether AI will bring an end to creativity in Hollywood. We explore the potential impact of AI on screenwriters and the ongoing screenwriters’ strike, and how these developments might shape the future choices of consumers when it comes to what they watch.”

What Speculative Fiction Tells Us About Current Culture and Our Future
2023 MindSite News
– “Fantasy fiction book sales increased dramatically in the past three years just as teen depression, anxiety and mental illness skyrocketed – parallel trends that may be both a symptom of the pandemic and a possible remedy, literary and mental health experts say.
“In 2021, fantasy sales went up 45% compared to 2020, the largest increase among all genres except for graphic novels, according to Wordsrated.com, an international industry research organization. Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt attributes some of this to improved marketing strategies. But mental health care professionals believe that there is a better explanation.
“ ‘Our worlds became very small [during the pandemic] and…fantasy fiction provided this vast opportunity to delve into worlds unknown and worlds unseen and worlds unexperienced,’ said Melissa Sporn, a clinical psychologist who treats adolescents and children as well as adults.”

Is There a Book Doctor in the House?
In the same way a medical doctor might examine a patient and perform surgery, a book doctor is a professional who improves a book manuscript. They identify areas that need refinement and “open up” the patient (the manuscript) to begin cutting, adding, and moving parts around. A ghostwriter writes on behalf of the author. A book doctor takes the work of an author and seeks to retain their voice, style, and the essence of the patient.
Benefits of Working With a Book Doctor
* Specific Guidance for Your Book
* Structural Changes that Improve the Flow of the Work
* Trimming, Tightening, and Tweaking
* Improved Clarity, Highlighting and Coloring
* Turning Passive Voice Into Active Writing
