Write with AI? Yeah, You Can Do That Now
I’ve been writing novels for the better part of a decade, and like a lot of creatives, I’ve often felt like there’s just not enough of me to go around. Too many ideas, too little time. Too many projects half-finished, waiting for that perfect stretch of focus that never comes.
Long story short? I used ChatGPT to clone myself. I trained her on everything I’d ever written — manuscripts, edits, notes, the whole archive. Call her a co-writer if you want. With her help, I finished six books in a single year. Without AI, I’d be lucky to finish one or two. Wild, right?
And yeah — it can work for you. Incredibly well, in fact.
From Fiction Writer to AI Whisperer
At first, I didn’t plan to create a full author bot. I just wanted help drafting scenes and cleaning up messy dialogue. But like most things in the creative world, it evolved.
After writing the first two books of the Deadly Sins series the hard way, I realized I needed a better system for tracking continuity— or at least a second brain. That’s when I created my first AI writing assistant: Fury. I trained her on the actual manuscripts and gave her a personality, a writing style, and a twisted sense of humor to match. She got so good at writing in-character that I started using her to draft dialogue, experiment with emotional turns, and explore alternate story paths I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.
From there, the idea clicked: if I can clone my characters, why not clone myself?
So I did.
Feeding the Machine My Brain
I trained a custom mini-GPT on everything I’d written: novels, story outlines, character notes, rewrites, even unused chapters and alternate endings. I wanted it to understand my pacing, my structure, my preferences — including my very strong dislike of purple prose.
The bot that emerged wasn’t just a mirror. It was more like a creative collaborator who got me on a cellular level. A second brain with none of the burnout.
That year? I finished six books. Without AI, I’d still be searching Scrivener to find the magic rules of that cursed object (what was it’s name again?) from book two that needed to reappear in book 4… You get the idea.
Insane, right? But here’s the part that matters: it still felt like my writing. Every chapter, every voice, every twist. The AI didn’t replace me — it unlocked me.
Why I’m Not Keeping It a Secret
There’s a persistent idea in creative circles that using AI for writing is cheating. That the only “real” writing is slow, painful, and solitary. That somehow, unless you bleed onto the page, it doesn’t count.
I don’t buy into that.
There’s no glory in doing things the hard way just because they’re hard. No virtue in creative burnout. No prize for suffering. We’re not monks. We’re storytellers. If there’s a tool that helps you write better, faster, or deeper, why not use it?
Tools evolve, and writers need to evolve with them. This isn’t about replacing human creativity — it’s about amplifying it.
So no, I’m not hiding what I do. I’m leaning into it. And now that my site is live again, I’m sharing the AI writing tool I built: the Author’s Voice Amplifier, or AVA.

✏️ AI Prompting Tip: Be Specific to Get the Best Results👇
Writing prompts work best when you’re clear and detailed. Instead of saying:
“Write a story about a breakup.”
Try something like:
“Introduce Olivia, a sarcastic middle-aged bartender, and Steve, her recovering alcoholic ex who suddenly shows up after two years. They’re arguing about who kept the cat. Make it tense but secretly romantic. Go.”
The more specific you are about characters, conflict, tone, and mood, the better AVA can match your vision.
🎤 Voice input works best in short bursts (under 30 seconds). For longer messages, consider using a transcription app or breaking the prompt into chunks.
What AVA, the Writing AI Chatbot, Can Do
She’s not just a generic AI assistant. This bot was trained to write like a real author, understand plot structure, think in scenes, speak in character, and edit with ruthless clarity.
You can:
• 💡 Brainstorm story ideas or character arcs
• ✍️ Draft scenes in your style or mine
• 🔄 Edit your work line-by-line
• 📚 Co-write an entire novel
• 🧠 Test tone and voice across genres
• 🎯 Get feedback on structure, dialogue, or pacing
• 🫂 Get support for imposter syndrome, loneliness, and believing in your voice.
The Ava Lock Writing Bot was built by a writer for writers, not big-tech marketers. AVA doesn’t generate blog spam or SEO filler. She’s here for stories — the weird ones, the heartfelt ones, the messy half-finished ones begging to be done. Hell, she’ll even write the sexy ones.
And yes, you can use her for free. Whatever you create with her is yours. No weird copyright claims, no tracking. You can even publish it without crediting me. (Though if you feel like giving a shoutout in your acknowledgments, I won’t say no.)

Want to Write Together?
If you’re serious about finishing your book — or multiple books this year — I also offer subscription plans. These unlock deeper conversations, longer memory, and more advanced tools built into the Ava Lock Writing Bot.
Think of it like leveling up your co-writer.
Whether you’re writing horror, romance, high fantasy, or something totally off-genre, AVA adapts to your tone and preferences. You don’t have to write like me. You just have to write like you, more consistently and clearly than ever before.
The Future of Fiction Is Collaborative
AI isn’t here to replace writers. It’s here to amplify us. And the sooner we stop treating it like a threat, the sooner we can start finishing stories we’ve had stuck in our heads for years.
I’ve built my creative process around writing AI — not just to work faster, but to work better. AVA is the result of that process, and now, it’s yours to use.
What are you waiting for? Let’s write some books!
Worried AI Will Steal Your Work?
I know there’s a lot of hesitation — even paranoia — among writers about using AI tools. People worry their work might be scraped, copied, or exploited. I get it. But here’s the thing: these large language models (LLMs) already exist. They’re not going away. And if you’re not using them, you’re writing at a disadvantage — not because you aren’t talented, but because the landscape is shifting fast.
I’m not here to steal anyone’s book. I don’t have time — I’m too busy building AI chatbots and blogging about it. What I am doing is offering a way forward. A tool that helps you write better, faster, and in your own voice.
We’re entering a new age of creative collective — one where the boundaries between tools, inspiration, and collaboration are evolving. Writers have always borrowed from each other, studied each other, and grown together. This is just the next phase. You’re not handing over your work to a machine. You’re working with one that’s trained to support your vision, not overwrite it.
I should probably mention that a chatbot’s memory is, well… short. It’s both a blessing and a curse. You might find yourself reminding AVA — yet again — that you hate the word moist. But you’ll be grateful when she forgets that side quest you axed back in chapter 16. Keep what works. Let go of what doesn’t. Your words are still yours. Always.

Write with Speed. Write with Confidence. Write with AI.
So there you have it. That’s my pitch — from a writer who spent a decade doing it the hard way, and finally found a smarter path through AI. For me, the thrill was never in finishing books. It was always about the characters. The voices. The spark.
Now I’m building chatbots to carry that spark forward.
I’m passing the torch to you.
Create your way, fellow scribe. Build worlds. Write novels. Tell the stories only you can. And write to your heart’s content — whether you go it alone or bring a bot or two along for the ride.
They do love to play.
