Spontaneously, I decided to write down my thoughts on another writers’ writing process. Isn’t that funny that what works for one person can sound like an utter nightmare to another?

The Blank Page and an Unexpected Conversation
I didn't start using Claude because I was excited about artificial intelligence. I started because I was staring at a blank page and needed someone to help me think. The first time felt surprisingly ordinary. I typed a few scattered thoughts, expecting little more than a quick answer. Instead, it felt like someone had quietly taken the jumble in my head and helped me see what I was trying to say. What did I feel after my first interaction with Claude? Relief, unease or both? Mostly […]https://shahblog1.wordpress.com/2026/06/25/the-blank-page-and-an-unexpected-conversation/

AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.
I said it before. I said it on this very blog, on Interfaith Intrepid, back when folks were still treating artificial intelligence like it was some kind of science fiction novelty that only tech bros in San Francisco cared about. I said that the AI bans were coming, and I said that they were not going to look the way people thought they were going to look.

Recently someone asked me to describe my writing process. Since I’ve
just started the third book in my mystery series, I don’t know that I

4/5 Try to work past your writer's block for a full hour.
Brainstorm, write down questions, shuffle post-it notes. Stare into the wall. Pace through the room like a Sherlock Holmes.
Be dramatic. -
2/5 Clear out your desk from distractions. Leave only your creative tools in front of you. Switch off the internet.
My creative tools look like this (thankfully, Scrivener does not require a Wi-Fi connection): -

WHY I APPROVE ALL COMMENTS ON MY BLOGS, EVEN THE ONES THAT DISAGREE WITH ME
There’s a very specific kind of expectation people have when they land on a personal blog in 2026.

They assume that if they say something critical, it might disappear. Or if they say something messy, it might get buried. Or if they say something bluntly opposed to the author, it might never even see the light […] -
