How to Write

Under the theme "what does it mean to write," I quoted and reflected on 31 kinds of prose from various books.

A Lecture Where ChatGPT Becomes Your Editor — How to Quietly Engage with AI to Create Novels
▼A book that you read as a lecture in story form about 'how to write novels' while facing AI. A "small record of experiments" that summarizes how an author who had lost the ability to write reevaluated their creative practice through dialogues with ChatGPT. You can read it as a narrative lecture — dialogues (a course) between a professor and the protagonist — presenting a way of thinking to treat AI not as a "tool" but as "another editor." Using approaches discussed in overseas creative-education contexts as a clue, it quietly explores a path to reclaiming language. ※This book is structured as a "fictional lecture" in story form between a professor and the protagonist. ▼Recommended for: - Writers who are stuck while writing fiction - Those unsure how to use AI in creative work - Those who are tired of literary circles or criticism - Those who carry "nights when they can't write" ▼Contents Chapter 1: Can AI become an 'editor'? Chapter 2: AI picks up the 'silence of words' — illuminating the reasons for being unable to write Chapter 3: Writing that 'dialogues with AI' — questions deepen the story Chapter 4: AI edits 'structure' — building the skeleton of a story Chapter 5: Does AI steal 'your voice'? — issues of style and narration Chapter 6: AI 'supplements scenes' — techniques to shape the texture of the world Chapter 7: AI 'polishes dialogue' — techniques for drama and the art of silence Chapter 8: AI 'shakes the theme' — grasping the core of the story Chapter 9: Can AI 'complete the story'? — techniques for endings

I Started a ¥290 Microcontroller — The First Step in Enjoying Electronics with UIAPduino — [Bonus: Microcontroller Board]
This is an essay (a personal account) themed on the Arduino-compatible board for educational institutions, "UIAPduino Pro Micro CH32V003 V1.4". Rather than technical details or information, I wanted to record the emotional tremors that unexpectedly arose during trial and error. This book was created from that feeling. Meeting UIAP and favorite points Strengths as a "rapid prototyping device" A record of creating Breakout using only ChatGPT The first stumbling blocks! Supported USB-serial communication boards A game console I want to make in the future: "Game Bēdā" Note: The print edition is black and white. Please be aware. Supported model: UIAPduino Pro Micro CH32V003 Development environment: Arduino IDE

Some of my regular book friends will also be exhibiting, so I’m looking forward to it!
