Hello from a frustrated writer with a disability
My name is Jordi, and I am someone who has been working on a story idea for 39 years and is finally trying to put that idea in front of the eyes of others, but I often find that the work I do is never given a chance because I use AI as an assistant and a tool to help me write. I have a hand disability and cannot use my hands well, so AI helps me get everything written. Unfortunately, it means a lot of editing (slow, tedious editing) and a lot of crap from people who just want to scream at anyone using AI in any capacity.
Recently, I tried to ask for help to figure out whether a stats issue I noticed on the various web series sites where I have my story is due to the usual early-reader behaviors on those kinds of sites, or if there is a genuine issue I need to address. I did manage to get a few good, constructive comments I took to heart and applied fixes to the chapters in question, but then the Facebook group decided I was trying to promote the book and deleted everything. It was at least partially helpful, and I even found a few issues I hadn't realized were there, so it was all good despite the hyper-moderation.
I definitely need a place to share my long and interesting tome where it won't get called "AI slop" by people with big mouths and little sense.
