I've always wanted to write an epic fantasy novel. I've half-way seriously written down the plot, some characters, some scenes, the ending etc. Actually, did some writing ...

But what stopped me is I realized that side of the brain was messed up. After decades of technical writing, proposals, business emails etc. I just wasn't a "creative writing" person, I think my plot was great but my prose really, really sucked ... much more the "tell, not show".

Now, there is a new paradigm ...

For the past couple weeks, I've been watching a bunch of YT and trying out several pieces of software with AI assisted writing. There's a lot of variety out there and there's a lot of different AI engines, some much better than others. It's very evident that we are at the early stages of AI assisted writing (and bugginess), but it's only going to get better.

So, if anyone dreams of writing a fiction novel, I'd say brush off that dust and start checking out the software available.
