TENTANG EPISODE INI
For this episode of the "CC & JT Amateur Hour," we discuss the tools of the writing trade. During our professional experience as authors, we've seen a few things, as the saying goes. CC and I took typing classes back in the day, and we've seen and used all flavors of PC word processors up to and including the most recent version of Microsoft Word.
We had the recent privilege of interviewing two writers who, in their own ways, represent the yin and yang of the modern set of writing tools and technology. Arnie Bernstein uses typewriters to create his manuscripts, and Kendall Brown uses virtual reality and ChatCGT to support her creative process.
CC and I discuss these methodologies and technologies, noting that each has their strengths and weaknesses. We also make clear we do not advocate the illegal use of AI to infringe on the literary artist's creative works. We do try to predict the future which may include platforms like Amazon and Google imposing their technologies and policies on self-published writers.
It's a complex issue, and we encourage you to check out Arnie's, Kendall's, and this podcast before flaming us. 😄
Upcoming book releases, all in 2026. These are working titles:
March: “Finding Salvation the Book.” This is the compilation of the novellas outlining what happened on Earth when the Salvation departed the solar system. The first novella in on Amazon for 99 cents.
April: “Restless Spirits Book 2.” The sequel to #passionrestored, this book will involve new characters in the same setting as Book 1.
June: “Restless Spirits Book 3.” More details to follow.
July: The next “Finding Salvation” book. What happened to the people who were left behind on Earth?
October: Two books will be released on Nevada Day (October 31) because they are both set in Nevada. CC will release “Battle Born Bride” and I will release the fourth book in the “A Sheriff in Nevada” series. More details to follow.
We hope that you enjoy these and other podcasts, and we thank you for following along. LYL!
