The work of any writer is something to be proud of. Seeing the tale take shape is like watching a flower budding from a seed of inspiration, expanding its roots with each day of writing, and finally opening its petals when the story is complete and successful. The road is not a straight line, though; some days the ideas just flow and other days it feels like the source of ideas gets frozen. On days like that, writers wish they had a tool at their disposal to make their work easier, just like florists have shears and clippers. And, lo and behold, they do, in the form of artificial intelligence. Several artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are available to writers to help them become more efficient and effective in their work. Here are some of the most well-known AI-powered writing resources writers have at their disposal.
