Dear fellow writer,
My brand-new 6-week Swordcraft series, “I Dream of GenAI: A Playful Perfectionist’s Guide to Writing and Editing with Generative AI,” starts next week, and I can’t wait to share it with you! Watch this video for a brief preview and an invitation to join the fun.
Each short (10-20 min) module will explore the nuances, affordances, and creative possibilities of GenAI from a different subject position:
Week 1: The Cynic
Week 2: The Learner
Week 3: The Writer
Week 4: The Editor
Week 5: The Creative
Week 6: The Mystic
Every week, I’ll offer real-life examples from my own AI experiments and practical prompts for designing (and sharing!) your own. In Week 3 (July 22-24), you’re warmly invited to join me for “GenAI on the Mountain,” a Zoom discussion and Q&A beamed live from my Mountain Rise writing retreat in the Swiss Alps.
All curious, collegial writers are welcome to join the conversation, whatever your writing genre (academic, professional, creative), your level of personal experience (novice, dabbler, expert), or your perspective on GenAI writing tools (cynic, agnostic, cheerleader). I ask only that you come with an open mind and an open heart, especially towards writers whose opinions on GenAI may differ from your own.
To watch this 6-part Swordcraft series and attend the live Special Event, you’ll need to be a paid subscriber to Helen’s Word or a member of my international WriteSPACE community.
I’d love to see you there!
