How To Practice Writing Fiction (And Leverage AI)
In this episode of Coffee With Cole, Cole breaks down one of the most misunderstood parts of becoming a better writer: how to practice.
Instead of treating writing as a vague, intuitive skill, he explains why mastery comes from isolating specific sub-skills—and how practicing those skills manually becomes the foundation for using AI effectively later.
(00:00) Why “becoming a better writer” is the wrong goal
(01:45) Unbundling writing into trainable sub-skills
(03:28) Why repetition alone doesn’t create mastery
(07:18) Story seeds and shortening the feedback loop
(10:49) Frameworks, constraints, and deliberate practice
(14:26) The 5-part story seed formula (with Star Wars example)
(18:20) How practice turns into AI prompts and training data
(26:42) Creating compounding leverage as a writer
