I conceived the initial idea for this story 10 years ago. I had a draft with the plot, its characters, and world elements. I used many of them for the writing.
This book represents a milestone in my writer’s journey because it is full of new features.
The first one is the genre. This book is a religious dystopia. For those who are not familiar with this term, dystopia is a story that depicts a world where there is extreme oppression, suffering, injustice, and violence; usually under an authoritarian political regime.
The story takes place in the 22nd century in Brazil,
with a reality very far from the present (I hope this reality never comes
true).
Another new feature is the inclusion of illustrations.
Using the Playground AI tool, I’ve created scenes and characters. I suppose
this will make the story more engaging and vivid.
I wrote using Bing AI as an assistant for grammar correction and consultation. Microsoft’s tool helped me to choose more common words and expressions that improve the text/reading flow.
I changed my English accent in this book; I switched from British English to American English. I don’t even know why I’ve used a British accent before.
And finally, this book has significant changes in
dialogue. Previously, I used : (colon) in the book’s dialogues—wrong for
English writing— and now, I’m using “,” (comma). Besides that, I reduced the
use of these marks in the text, I studied other books and noticed that the
excessive use of them makes the reading slow, like a theatrical play.
I hope you enjoy this new work and its improvements.
