I’ve made a bold decision: I’m embracing AI as a creative partner to dramatically accelerate the development of my novel based on the Impossible Scenario. My ambitious target is a complete 100,000-word manuscript in a fraction of the time traditional methods would require.
The concept has been percolating in my mind for years, and that extended gestation period is now paying dividends. Ideas are flowing rapidly, connections are crystallizing, and the narrative architecture feels solid. The challenge isn’t ideation—it’s maintaining momentum and channeling this creative energy into consistent, focused work.
I’ve also made a strategic decision about my mystery thriller series. After considerable deliberation, I’m cutting the planned fourth novel that was intended as the series opener. Instead, I’ll begin with what was originally the second book, streamlining the series into a trilogy—much like Stieg Larsson’s acclaimed Millennium series. Sometimes the best path forward requires pruning ambitious plans to their essential core.
The key now is singular focus. I have the vision, the tools, and the momentum. What remains is the discipline to transform potential into pages, day after day, without losing sight of the finish line.
