What happens when you let AI touch your novel? In today’s Wordslinger 10-Shot, I talk honestly about experimenting with AI during a major novel rewrite — what completely failed, what surprisingly worked, and why I believe the future of writing still belongs to humans… just humans using better tools. I tested Claude as a rewrite partner on a full manuscript, and the results were eye-opening. The AI rewrite itself? A mess. But the outlining, continuity tracking, scene planning, and editorial assistance? That changed the game. This episode is for writers, creatives, and creative entrepreneurs trying to figure out where AI fits into the creative process without sacrificing originality, voice, or soul. We talk about: * Why AI-generated fiction often feels flat * The difference between “writing with AI” and “letting AI write” * How I’m using AI during rewrites and outlining * Why storytelling still depends on human intuition * The publishing industry’s changing relationship with AI * How writers can adapt without losing themselves in the process If you’re trying to navigate the future of publishing, storytelling, and creativity, this channel is built for you. 👉 Subscribe for practical, honest guidance on writing, publishing, creativity, and building a sustainable author career: [https://www.youtube.com/@WordslingerPodcast](https://www.youtube.com/@WordslingerPodcast) ⏱️ TIMECODES 00:00 – Welcome & what’s been happening this week 02:30 – Testing AI on a full novel rewrite 03:40 – Why the AI rewrite completely failed 04:30 – The surprising way AI actually helped 06:30 – AI as an outlining partner 08:20 – Why AI-generated stories feel formulaic 10:30 – Concerns about AI training & publishing 12:10 – Why writers must adapt 13:30 – The reality of major rewrites 15:15 – Rebuilding a novel from existing parts 16:40 – Why setting books aside can help 18:40 – A new writing strategy going forward 21:10 – Using story structures with AI assistance 23:20 – The “writer’s room” approach 24:20 – AI as a prosthetic, not a replacement 25:40 – Why human beta readers still matter 28:10 – Publishers already using AI internally 29:00 – Final thoughts on the future of writing LINKS & RESOURCES 🌐 Wordslinger Podcast [https://wordslingerpodcast.com](https://wordslingerpodcast.com) ✍️ ProWritingAid [https://tidd.ly/3NCdlk5](https://tidd.ly/3NCdlk5) 📚 Draft2Digital [https://draft2digital.com/wordslinger](https://draft2digital.com/wordslinger) ⚓ Author Anchor [https://authoranchor.com](https://authoranchor.com) 📖 Find Kevin and his books [https://kevintumlinson.com](https://kevintumlinson.com) 📰 Join Kevin on Substack [https://kevintumlinson.substack.com](https://kevintumlinson.substack.com) #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AIWriting #Publishing #WritingTips #CreativeEntrepreneur #SelfPublishing #Authors #WritersLife #ArtificialIntelligence Learn more about your ad choices.
