What to watch out for...

I struggle to keep up with the blog since I’ve also gone back to work. I don’t know how long that will last but there’s a few items needing my attention around the home. So my writing suffers but I’ll have the money for a new fence and a couple of other items. Anyway, what to watch out for:
#1: Schedule Time
As I’ve suggested to clients many times, set a schedule then do your best to follow it, and that is one reason I’m back to blogging at least once a week. I made a time for it on my calendar! I have two clients a day, four days a week and only in the afternoons, never evenings. That leaves my mornings and evenings and two to three days a week free for writing.
#2: Editing and Editors.
I originally wrote Lucifer Unbound then it and another epic novel became a seven book saga, "Children of Adonai: The Celestials Chronicles." That book wasn’t selling well, no matter what I did as far as marketing went. Now I’m using AI to review them chapter by chapter and re-editing the individual novels as well. That’s one thing the AI is very good at and it doesn’t cost a lot of money, which a lot of new authors are short on.
I’ve hired so-called editors who do nothing but put my book through ProWriteAid (which I own and have used) or Google Doc (which I also use) then have the nerve to charge me for a grammar check on my novel. So, if you’re a new writer, beware of editors if you don’t know them or they do not come recommended by authors who actually sell their books.
#3: AI Programs. 
Another thing, I was using Sudowrite to check my work and so forth, but a couple of times. I also use GhatGPT for editing parts of my novels. It do a great job altering a phrase I don’t like and rephrases it along with added ideas. Of course, you, the author has to edit AI because it’s not always as smart as you would like it to be, and sometimes, it confuses characters and scenes. 
It seems everyone has at least ten things to do on their lists but for me I like to keep it simple and even making a list of three things can be a chore for me, but it’s a place to start and I hope it helps.
