Got a book, a Wattpad story, or anything in between? Add it to the shelf here.

They have a bunch of other things in there community pages. Some things (like NovNov) available to non-subscribers..

It looks like last yea's ProWritingAid NovNov was a success (they have confirmed 2026), with 68,000 participants.

So much so, that ProWritingAid has set up June for Writing With Pride! :techlgbt: :heart_pride: 🏳️‍🌈

Starting June 1, you’ll complete short, focused writing exercises designed to strengthen your craft. Each week centers on a different theme (Becoming, Chosen Family, Intersectionality, and Softness & Joy) giving you new ways to explore character, conflict, and connection on the page.

By the end of this challenge, you will have written 28 short scenes and exercises that deepen your ability to craft character, relationships, and emotional resonance in your work.

I'm going to at least dip in for the speaker events.

A critique request for a poem in ProWritingAid ~

Took ages to print...

Ah, yes, poetry and LLM's... haven't heard each other's music.

#ProWritingAid #LLM

So, I guess NovNov is what we are calling the successor to NaNoWriMo...

I was on a cruise for most of the month. But, there are interesting videos and events that were recorded and I am catching up on.

Hopefully I will be able to participate next year. Hopefully it was a success and will return.

Does anyone have any observations or experiences they want to share from this one?

I got the "Locked in Gear" badge for a full week of writing, from ProWritingAid. Here's to more story work! I've got my music going (enjoying this J-rock band I just found through Tiktok called Espirit D'Air), stuffed myself with calories, and I'm here sipping a caffeinated beverage. It's time to dive into this crazy urban fantasy world.

#ProWritingAid #NovNov #NovelNovember #NationalNovelWritingMonth #NaNoWriMo

Se acerca noviembre y cualquier otro año la gente estaría preparándose para el #NaNoWriMo, pero como este año (en abril) cerraron, hay otras webs aprovechando el vacío para hacer su promoción.

Lo cual me parece genial porque escribir en comunidad es mucho más divertido.

PERO

Recordemos que uno de los motivos por los que la web del NaNo (dijo que) cerró fue la falta de dinero. Muchos de los patrocinadores que tenía se echaron atrás cuando empezaron a fomentar el uso de la IA para la escritura, llegando a tener algunos razonamientos «curiosos».

La web original no se puede visitar porque ya no está online, pero siempre puedes acceder a lo que he puesto en capturas de pantalla a través del histórico:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240902144333/https://nanowrimo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/29933455931412-What-is-NaNoWriMo-s-position-on-Artificial-Intelligence-AI

Una de las webs o servicios que NaNoWriMo tenía como sponsor y a la que daba publicidad era #ProWritingaid.

Hay bastantes escritores en comunidades como TikTok y Youtube que lo recomiendan y la marca les patrocina.

Sobre todo en USA.

#Insomnia gives you the opportunity to some incredibly crazy things sometimes.

For example, over the past several days I have been experimenting with #ChatGPT. More because I was bored nothing more. And I wanted to see how good some of these newer models were with #writing. #Fiction.

Now, I #write. Fiction. #ScienceFiction mainly. Although I've dabbled into other more mainstream fiction #genres too except fantasy & horror. Other than #Grammarly and #ProWritingAid I've never really used #AI for anything other than to help me sound less snarky when replying to Reddit comments. A look through my history here and you can see just how unfiltered I am about topics I care passionately and deeply about.

But I've never used AI to actually *#write* a #story, from start to finish. At least not until now.

And since I'm usually a *#pantser* when I write, I just started with a simple #prompt and a simple #premise.

And holy fuck. Holy-holy fuck.

I mean, the AI didn't write it all by itself. I had to prompt it, guide it. Even fix some glaring and stupid mistakes (AI really has no cognitive understanding of the real world right now.)

And of the 40,000+ words it's written just about every single paragraph needs to be #edited. Heavily in places too. The overuse of #em-dashes is real y'all. I use em-dashes, but I don't use them in every fucking paragraph!

But the foundation is there.

The premise is unique. The story is unique. The characters are unique. And they have a depth to them that frankly has blown my mind.

I am both incredibly excited and very scared for what comes next but only a fool would take something AI has created and #publish it without #editing whether it's a Reddit comment, an Email, a social network post, or a tome.

My writing NEVER features AI. The closest I get is spelling and grammar with #ProwritingAid and that's it.

This year for #NaNoWriMo I have high hopes of finally hitting that 50,000 word goal!

Indeed, I have a feeling I’ll get there the first day.

And if I have time, I may even read whatever bollocks my #LLM churned out to see whose work I plagiarized.

Um die Haltung von #NaNoWriMo zu #GenAI ganz zu verstehen, ist es vielleicht hilfreich zu wissen, das #ProWritingAid, eine AI Firma, Sponsor des Events ist

Oh, no Google what have you done!!! The #ProWritingAid Chrome Extension no longer works based on Chrome updates?!?!? PWA recommends fixes, but when you accept them, the change isn't made (but PWA thinks it was).

Hey SF writers! Have you signed up for the ProWritingAid SF Week Sep 11-14? This will be the 2nd I've attended. I can always find at least a few sessions I want to attend. Sessions range from educational webinars to author interviews. I'm a big fan of continuous learning, and SF Week counts!

A few ideas that could have made most USA authors' Regency fiction better.

I particularly like avoiding current slang/ names/ jargon - if only they would.

Trying out ProWritingAid Everywhere for Mac and ProWritingAid for Safari. Works great in Apple Notes and Scrivener (yay!) but I can't get it to work in Mastodon on Safari or in the Ivory app on Mac. Works on other websites and apps. Anyone know why this might be? Is there a setting to enable plugins on the server? https://prowritingaid.com

So, #TIL that #ProWritingAid has a share feature. It's been years since I've used the web interface (usually just open my Scrivener file directly on my local computer.)

#writing #editing

So...
I got (read - paid for) #ProWritingAid not long ago to help improve my #writing.
The last update wouldn't work.
After a few emails exchanged with their Help center, I was informed that from the last update, #Win8.1 is not supported anymore.
This information was not available anywhere on their site when I purchased the program. It wasn't there when I downloaded the latest update either.
The information is not on the site at all, not even now. I searched for it.
There is no mention of supported OS versions when trying to purchase the app.
Don't get me wrong - I love the program, it's quite helpful.
But this is bad. This is not how you manage/update/sell a program to customers.
Every self-respecting vendor informs customers well in advance when they stop supporting a specific OS version. And that information is clearly mentioned on their site.
I am disappointed.
Never mind that I paid for a year, and more than half of it I will not get any updates.
Bah.

Guten Morgen vom Küchentisch. Grad die englische #Übersetzung meiner #Schottland-#Kurzgeschichte nochmal mit Hilfe von #ProWritingAid (ausgedehnter Spell- & Grammar Checker) durchgearbeitet. Die will ich auch heute oder spätestens morgen abgeben. #Überarbeiten #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

@sfwrtr ProWritingAid will help with many of these words and much more. I don't agree with all their style changes, but looking at word I overuse is very useful.

@nathan Thanks. I got the lifetime deal on #proWritingAid . I need all the help I can get when it comes to #writing !

Husband bought me lifetime access to PWA for early Christmas since it was 50% off so I spent yesterday fooling around with it. In the end I ended up writing over 2000 words on another project I have that I’ve been stalled on for months. Felt really good! I’m definitely enjoying PWA as a tool and feel like it will help me a lot when I get to run TFS through it.

Guten Morgen vom Küchentisch. Gerade habe ich das #Manuskript an die Lektorin geschickt. Gestern Nacht hatte mir #ProWritingAid meine französischen Anführungszeichen falsch angezeigt und ich hatte beschlossen, das heute früh nochmal zu prüfen. Und siehe da, sie waren richtig. Offenbar haben die da einen Bug, dass sie »die« nicht unfallfrei können. oO Okay, aber jetzt erstmal Kaffee und Frühstück. Mahlzeit. ☕ #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor #Lektorat #PodcastingBook
