⚔️ Week 1: The Cynic 🧞‍♂️

I Dream of GenAI: A Playful Perfectionist's Guide to Writing and Editing with Generative AI
1

Sharpen your style and find joy in wordcraft with bestselling writing expert Helen Sword.

Dear fellow writer,

Welcome to Swordcraft, my series of short, sharp videos for paid subscribers who want to grow their writing practice and hone their wordcraft, one swordsnip at a time.

Today’s episode is the first in my new six-part Swordcraft sequence, I Dream of GenAI: A Playful Perfectionist’s Guide to Writing and Editing with Generative AI. Each short (10-20 min) module explores the nuances, affordances, and creative potential 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 offer real-life examples from my own AI experiments and suggest practical prompts for designing (and sharing!) your own. You can find this week’s prompts and resource links at the bottom of the post.

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.

To access this 6-part Swordcraft series and attend the live 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!
