Tim and Art reveal the benefits of participating in the SmokeLong Quarterly March Micro Madness workshop, specifically in how it has impacted the style and quality of their feedback.

Finally, the guys discuss three "dualities" that work well together for ready-made feedback topics:

• Quality of Writing vs Quality of Story
• Idea vs Execution
• Intent vs Result (to spark a dialogue with the writer)

Tim and Art discuss the concept of "bravery" in how challenging it can be to be vulnerable and emotionally honest in our fiction. Then Tim and Art explore how to use AI as your own personal assistant to accelerate early stage perogress on longer works of fiction (like a novel outline or movie treatment) while ensuring a "low ick" level of ethical limits on what you allow it to do.
