    Got a Bad Review? Do NOT Do This

    A Wordslinger 10-Shot! Bad reviews are inevitable. The real question is what you do after you get one. In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I’m talking about the mistake authors make when a negative review gets under their skin—and why responding, arguing, or trying to “correct the record” usually makes things worse. I recently looked at my own book reviews for the first time in more than a year and found a 2-star review calling one of my books boring. That sent me down a rabbit hole about reviews, trolls, negative comments, and how much attention writers should really give any of them. We’ll talk about why you should almost never respond to a bad review, when reporting a review might actually make sense, why I once deliberately upvoted some of my worst reviews, and why one of the healthiest things you can do as a creator may be to stop reading reviews altogether. And there’s an important flip side: reviews still matter. They provide social proof and credibility for your books, which means authors should absolutely be asking readers to leave them—even if you decide not to read them yourself. If you’re a writer, author, creator, or creative entrepreneur trying to build a career without letting criticism derail you, this one’s for you. What do you think? Do you read your reviews? Have you ever responded to a bad one? Tell me in the comments.

    I Tested “AI Slop.” The Results Surprised Me

    People love throwing around the phrase “AI slop.” But does using AI actually hurt your content—or are creators reacting to something that audiences barely notice? I decided to stop guessing and test it. For several weeks, I ran YouTube A/B/C tests comparing AI-generated thumbnails against thumbnails built from traditional photos and graphics. And the results were not what the loudest AI critics might expect. In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I break down what happened, what the numbers actually showed, and why I think creators need a better definition of “AI slop.” I also talk about where I personally draw the line with AI. I do not use AI to write my books. I love writing too much for that. But I do use AI as a business tool for things like editing assistance, titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and other tasks that can save me time and energy. The question isn’t simply, “Did AI touch this?” The better question might be: Did the tool augment the creator—or replace the creator? If you're a writer, creator, publisher, or creative entrepreneur trying to figure out where AI fits into your work, this conversation is for you.

    I Can’t Afford to Self-Publish” — Wordslinger 10-Sh0t

    “I can’t afford to self-publish.” I hear this from writers all the time—and I think it’s based on one of the biggest misconceptions about indie publishing. You can self-publish a book for $0. In this Wordslinger 10-Shot, I break down the real costs of independent publishing, including editing, formatting, cover design, distribution, and marketing—and show you where you can spend money, where you can save it, and where you may not need to spend anything at all. We’ll also talk about the important difference between legitimate indie publishing and expensive “publishing services” that charge authors thousands of dollars while taking control of their work. Because here’s the bigger point: You don’t need a huge budget to become an indie author. But if you want to build a sustainable writing career, you do need to start thinking like a publisher—and like a business owner.

    Your First Draft Is Supposed to Be Bad

    Kevin on Kraft: EPISODE 1! **Kevin on Kraft** is an occasional conversation between writers Kevin Tumlinson and Donn King about the craft, process, and strange magic of writing. **Your first draft is supposed to be bad.** Seriously. One of the biggest mistakes writers make is expecting the first draft to look anything like the finished book. That pressure to get everything right—to nail the characters, plot, dialogue, pacing, and prose on the first try—can make finishing the book exponentially harder. In this first episode of **Kevin on Kraft**, Donn King and I dig into how stories actually get written: discovery writing, plotting versus pantsing, developing characters as you go, getting unstuck when the story stalls, and why sometimes the best solution to writer’s block is to **blow up the spaceship** and see what happens. We also get into where ideas come from, why originality may be overrated, how writers can borrow familiar storytelling patterns without copying, and one of my favorite principles of storytelling: **Same—but different.** If you're writing your first novel, your seventieth, or you're simply trying to make a living doing creative work, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to know everything before you begin. You just have to begin.

    I Sold 10 Million Books and All I Got was this AI Witch Hunt

    I sold more than 10 million books over the course of my writing career—and somehow I’m still spending my time talking about AI witch hunts. In this episode of the Wordslinger Podcast, I dig into the growing problem of AI detection tools, false accusations, and platforms giving users new ways to report writers for supposedly creating “AI slop.” These tools are producing false positives, damaging reputations, costing writers subscribers, and potentially putting publishing contracts and careers at risk. And the deeper problem is that writers are increasingly being treated as guilty before they’ve had any opportunity to defend their work. But this episode isn’t only about AI. I also talk about what selling 10 million books has taught me about long-term success, why your career may look very different when you view it in aggregate, and why writers should spend less time obsessing over goals and more time building a reliable creative process. We’ll also explore: • Why AI detection software is dangerous for writers • How false accusations can create real financial damage • Why outrage-driven content is tempting—but creatively limiting • What 20 years of book sales taught me about success • Why consistency matters more than ambitious daily goals • How to build a writing habit without burning yourself out • Why your backlist is one of your greatest career assets • How the “same but different” principle applies to books, covers, and branding • Why writers, creators, and entrepreneurs need a unified platform Your writing career will not be built by one viral moment, one massive launch, or one perfect book. It will be built by showing up, improving your process, and creating work consistently over time. If you’re a writer looking for practical, honest guidance on writing, publishing, marketing, creative business, and building a sustainable author career, subscribe to the Wordslinger channel. This is the place for writers who want real-world advice for every stage of the writing and publishing journey.

    AI Witch Hunts and the New Writing Economy

    AI detectors are accusing real writers of using artificial intelligence—and people are losing grades, contracts, opportunities, and reputations because of unreliable software. Meanwhile, writers are still wrestling with another difficult question: How do you actually build a sustainable writing career when book sales alone may not provide a dependable living? In this episode of Wordslinger, J. Kevin Tumlinson examines the growing AI-detection witch hunt, the difference between using AI as a creative tool and allowing it to replace creativity, and the unfair consequences writers face when flawed technology is treated as proof. Kevin also explores the changing economics of the writing life. A successful writing career may not look like the romantic version many of us imagined. It may require multiple income streams, smarter financial planning, a larger platform, and enough runway to keep creating without constantly worrying about the next paycheck. In this episode: 00:00 — Welcome to Wordslinger 01:11 — Why AI detection software is a scam 02:13 — Writers and students facing false accusations 03:29 — Why good writing can trigger AI detectors 04:21 — The hypocrisy of feeding writers’ work into AI 05:15 — Legitimate and accessible uses of AI 06:18 — How disabled writers can use AI as assistive technology 07:23 — Translation and language tools for authors 08:20 — When technology supports creativity 09:32 — Leonardo da Vinci, Stan Lee, and outsourced creation 11:46 — AI companies destroying rare books 14:11 — Are we responsible stewards of AI? 15:42 — How writers can actually make a living 17:13 — The fantasy versus reality of the writing life 19:22 — Building multiple streams of writing income 21:31 — Stop laying track directly in front of the train 24:29 — Creating financial runway before leaving your job 26:35 — The two financial tracks every writer needs 28:48 — Keeping writing at the center of your career 30:57 — Where to connect with Kevin Whether you are an author, freelance writer, artist, podcaster, publisher, or creative entrepreneur, the real question is not whether technology or the publishing industry will change. They will. The question is whether you can use the tools available, diversify your income, protect your creative identity, and build a career capable of surviving those changes. What do you think? Are AI detectors protecting writers—or creating a modern witch hunt? And can authors still expect to earn a living primarily from book sales? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    I Almost Quit Writing… Then I Built a System Around My Chaos

    I came this close to walking away from writing forever. After a traditional publishing deal went sideways, I paid back the advance, lost the rights for a stretch, and seriously believed my career was over before it started. What saved me wasn’t “just write every day.” It was building a deliberate system around the chaos of multiple projects, side hustles, and creative energy. In this Wordslinger 10-Shot I break down the exact approach I still use today so I can keep finishing books while running a podcast, YouTube channel, coaching, and other ventures without burning out or falling into shiny-object syndrome. You’ll learn:   How I use directed intensity instead of forcing myself to grind on one thing Why strategic “side quests” actually help me finish more fiction The simple scheduling trick that keeps everything moving How secondary skills and businesses can feed (not steal from) your main writing career   Whether you’re a novelist, indie author, content creator, or multi-passionate entrepreneur, this system is designed for people who refuse to choose just one lane.

    Make Them Suffer (and other Writing Craft Tips)

    What makes a story impossible to put down? It usually starts with one uncomfortable truth: You have to make your characters suffer. In this episode of the Wordslinger 10-Shot, I dig into several practical writing craft principles that can help you create stronger characters, sharper scenes, more natural dialogue, and stories that keep readers turning pages. We’ll talk about why change is the engine of story, how consequences create momentum, why “and then” can quietly kill your plot, and how to build tension without exhausting your reader. I’ll also explore dialogue as a form of action, the value of leaving some questions unanswered, and how to recognize when a story is truly finished. Whether you’re writing your first novel or your fiftieth, these are the kinds of craft fundamentals that can help you tell more compelling stories. What writing craft topic would you like me to cover next? Leave your question in the comments. I may turn it into a future episode.   TIMECODES 00:00 – Why writers should talk more about craft 01:44 – Why your characters need to suffer 03:36 – Suffering doesn’t have to mean physical danger 07:38 – Every scene must create change 10:13 – Creating discomfort and escalating tension 10:54 – “And then” versus “because” storytelling 12:18 – Giving readers moments of hope and relief 14:31 – Why everything in a story must serve a purpose 18:11 – Building tension in peaks and valleys 18:55 – Understanding three-act structure 21:30 – Change as the purpose of scenes 23:20 – Dialogue as action, not exposition 27:37 – Why explanatory dialogue stops a story cold 29:32 – Suspense as the distance between knowledge and action 30:52 – How to know when your story is over 34:03 – Leaving some questions unanswered 37:30 – Using A, B, and C plots across a series 40:17 – Why craft remains a writer’s primary tool   Subscribe to the channel for practical, honest guidance on writing, publishing, marketing, and building a sustainable creative career.
