Hey guys… so GOOD NEWS! I have picked back up writing the NaruNia short story collection series for my other account. I’ve already finished the FIRST book in like just a couple or few days. How? Well, recently I’ve discovered a writing technique called DICTATION. Which is basically a SPEECH TO TEXT function, or where you speak your chapters aloud and the ai or whatever types out what you’re saying. It’s a fairly new way writers are opting for if they’re just sick of the act of typing or want to write chapters faster. I can literally write about 500 words in like less than twenty minutes, for right now since I’m new to this, but others who have mastered this method can write 3-4k words in like an HOUR! Isn’t that amazing?!
However, for me, I do a mix of dictation and typing in case I get too stuck dictating and not knowing what to say. I got this app that really helps punctuate and structure my words so I don’t have to be saying the punctuation whenever I’m talking out loud. Overall this method has been really helpful for me and I can see myself continuing to use it. Now I’m not gonna get my hopes up too high cause I keep announcing projects only to go cold turkey, so I’m not gonna say this short story collection is coming out for sure as of this moment, but since I finished book one, I do have a dopamine rush and am looking forward to continuing the series.
It is in an epistolary format, a little similar to DORK DIARIES or DIARY OF A WIMPY KID, except think of notes instead of a diary. I really like the format tho. It works for me overall. But ya, that’s the update I wanted to give! Cheers to the future!
