🖋️ How to Develop the Habit of Writing Periodically with the Help of AI

If you've made it this far, it's because you're a budding writer (whether you're an amateur or a professional doesn't matter, that's the least of it). And if you're a writer, you already know that "magic" has no place in the life of a writer. What does have a place is hard work, which is... writing.

Writing is a skill that improves with constant practice. For a writer, developing the habit of writing periodically not only strengthens his creativity and style, but also helps him produce content smoothly and without blocks.

Fortunately, today we have technological tools such as artificial intelligence (AI) to help us maintain discipline, generate exercises, and receive feedback on our texts. Below, I explain how to integrate these elements into your daily writing routine.

📅 1. Create a Periodic Writing Plan

Before using AI, it's important to set a realistic plan for writing regularly. Of course, you should adjust this plan to fit your schedule. Many writers (myself included) are busy with other things. And we can't devote all the time we want to writing. You'll need to adjust the plan to your possibilities.

Some tips to help you create your own writing plan:

✅ Set a fixed schedule 📆 → Write at the same time every day or week.
✅ Create a writing space 🖥️ → A comfortable, distraction-free place.
✅ Use achievable goals 🎯 → Example: 500 words a day or one short story a week .
✅ Alternate types of writing 📝 → Don't just write stories; try diaries, articles, or descriptions. Writing should be fun if you don't want to get bored. In my case, I'm a writer with several projects open at the same time. And I write about the topic that attracts me when putting my ideas on paper. I advise you to do the same..
✅ Make it fun 🎭 → Use challenges like "Write a story in 10 minutes" or "Write without using the letter 'e'" .

🔹 Weekly routine example:

Monday: Free writing with a prompt.
Wednesday: Development of a character or scene.
Friday: Review and correction of a previous text.

🤖 2. Using AI to Generate Writing Exercises

If you're lacking inspiration or need to structure your practice, you can ask AI to generate practical exercises for you . Some examples of prompts to do this:

📝 To improve narrative:
"Give me an exercise to write a short story in the first person about an astronaut stranded on an unknown planet."

💬 To practice dialogues:
"Create an exercise where two characters discuss whether time travel is a good idea or not."

🎭 To develop characters:
"Create an exercise where you must write the biography of a character who is a blind detective in a cyberpunk world."

⏳ To improve writing speed:
"Give me a speed writing challenge with an action scene under 300 words."

🔍 3. How You Can Use AI to Evaluate and Correct Texts

Once you complete an exercise, you can use AI as a feedback tool. Here I show you how to ask it to help you with the correction and analysis of your texts. Correction and revision of texts is usually very expensive for writers. Today, you have a personalized corrector who does not charge you to improve the quality of your texts.

🔄 Step 1: Request a Correction with Explanation

General correction prompt:
"Please correct this text while maintaining my original style. Explain the changes you made and why."

Prompt to improve clarity:
"Please rewrite my text to make it clearer and more direct, but without changing its essence. Explain the changes to me."

Prompt for improving dialogue:
"Improve these dialogues to make them sound more natural and emotional. Explain your changes."

🔹 Example of Use:

📌 Original text:

“Juan looked around in fear. The forest was dark and mysterious. He heard a noise and ran without looking back.”

📌 AI Fix:

“Juan peered into the darkness, his heart racing. The forest, shrouded in shadow, seemed to whisper secrets. A rustling sound behind him made him jump; without thinking, he ran.”

📌 AI Explained:

A more specific verb was used ( escudriñó instead of mirar ).
Sensory details were added for greater immersion ( whispering shadows ).
A more intense reaction was created ( racing heart ).

🛠️ 4. How to Train AI to Modify and Improve Texts

If you want to improve a text in a specific area, you can ask the AI to modify it with a specific instruction . During the correction phase, you can also tell it to act as an editor. In that case, you should give the AI an idea of the editorial line you want to take so that it can improve the style of what you write.

Some examples:

📢 Improve rhythm and fluency:
"Make this paragraph more dynamic and maintain a good narrative rhythm."

🎭 Make your text more emotional:
"Rewrite this scene to convey a sense of melancholy and nostalgia."

📚 Adapt the style to a famous author:
"Transform this paragraph so that it has a style similar to that of Ray Bradbury."

👁 Adjust descriptions:
"Make this landscape description more vivid and atmospheric."

🔍 Practical example:

📌 Original text:

"Maria was sad because her best friend had moved away."

📌 Prompt:
"Rewrite this sentence to make Maria's sadness feel deeper and more visual."

📌 AI response:

"Maria pressed her lips together as she looked at the framed photo. Her friend's laughter still seemed to echo in the empty room, but silence was now her only company."

🚀 Conclusion: Integrating AI into Your Writing Routine

✔️ 1. Set up a regular writing plan.
✔️ 2. Use prompts to let the AI suggest challenging exercises.
✔️ 3. Ask for corrections with detailed explanations.
✔️ 4. Tweak texts with specific instructions to improve your writing style.

💡 Remember: AI is a powerful tool, but the talent and creativity are still yours. If you use it wisely, you will be able to constantly improve and write with greater fluency, originality, and confidence. Write without fear! 🚀✍️
