The most recent instance of benefiting from Apple Intelligence with about 70% satisfaction just occurred. I’m writing another piece using an M4 iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard. I selected the opening paragraph, invoked Writing Tools, and selected Proofread. This is how the proofread version was presented: The feature worked as expected. The problem is that Writing Tools doesn’t highlight changes, and the UI obscured my original text. As a workaround, I selected Replace, used Command + Z to undo ty

There’s a famous two-decade-old Paris Review interview with Haruki Murakami in which he, one of the world’s most celebrated novelists, details his daily routine. He wakes up at 4AM, works for five hours, goes for a run, reads, goes to bed, and then repeats it all over again. The rigor and repetition are the point. I am not Haruki Murakami. In addition to my work at The Verge, I write novels — my second one is out today — and while I admire Murakami’s commitment to an immovable schedule, I’ve f

NaNoWriMo, a twenty-five-year-old online writing community-turned-nonprofit, announced on Monday evening that it is shutting down. NaNoWriMo — an abbreviation of National Novel Writing Month — is an annual challenge for writers to complete a rough draft of a novel during the month of November. After starting as a Yahoo! mailing list in 1999, the project grew into a self-described “internet-famous” writing challenge with hundreds of thousands of participants over more than two decades.

The Russian novelist Ivan Goncharov once said of writers, “And to write and write, like a wheel or a machine, tomorrow, the day after, on holidays; summer will come—and he must still be writing. When is he to stop and rest? Unfortunate man?” Goncharov was born in 1812 and died in 1891, so I am clearly not the model for the writer he was talking about—even though, my prolificacy having often been commented upon, I could otherwise well be. The eponymous hero of his novel Oblomov feels the same way

Before she started writing video games, Emma Kidwell loved Twilight fanfiction. Her “bad, self-insert” stories found a home on DeviantArt, an online community where people posted fan art, original work, and so much more. “The low barrier of entry made it very accessible,” Kidwell says. Her writing turned into role-playing in forums, and Twilight fandom gave way to a love of video games like Mass Effect. Today, Kidwell is a writer for Firaxis Games and a rising star in the world of game narrativ

OpenAI is pushing boundaries in creative writing. CEO Sam Altman tweeted on Tuesday that the company trained a new AI model that is "good" at creative writing. "This is the first time I have been really struck by something written by AI; it got the vibe of metafiction so right," Altman wrote. The prompt was, "Please write a metafictional literary short story about AI and grief." The system responded with a 1,172-word short story about a protagonist named Mila, who turns to an AI chatbot for a

Like most tech bros who read science fiction and imagine themselves creating the “torment nexus” of their dreams, Altman doesn’t comprehend what makes a good story.

For those of us with woefully average gray matter, our minds have limited reach. For the past, they are enthusiastic but incompetent archivists. In the present, they reach for the most provocative fragments of ideas, often preferring distraction over clarity. Writing provides scaffolding. Structure for the unstructured, undisciplined mind. It’s a practical tool for thinking more effectively. And sometimes, it’s the best way to truly begin to think at all. Let’s call your mind’s default setting
