Questions.

That storytelling is wild and winding. You start in one place and end up somewhere entirely different. The story shifts, changes its mind, breaks the rules—and you have to evolve with it.

I've also learned to embrace the unconventional. I don’t always call myself a “writer” or “author,” because I’ve chosen to create this story using AI assistance. The ideas, the voice, the emotion—that’s all mine. But I use technology as a companion to help weave it together.

That’s why I call myself a Storyweaver. It’s not about writing by hand or by code—it’s about telling the story that's inside me, however it wants to come out.

Curious. Inspired. Invited.
I want this space to feel like the first page of a secret book you weren’t supposed to find—but can’t put down. A place where you can fall into a world I’ve built and maybe, just maybe, feel empowered to tell your own story—especially if you've ever wondered how technology and imagination can collide.

3. What do you want readers to feel when they land on your site?

4.  Do you write your books using AI?

I do—but not in the way some might assume. The ideas, the plot, the characters, the emotion—they’re all mine. I use AI as a tool, a creative companion that helps me explore ideas faster, reword scenes, test dialogue, and refine my vision. It doesn’t replace the work—it supports it.
Think of it as me being the weaver, and AI being one of the threads I choose to work with.

5. Is the emotional depth or character voice really yours?

Yes. 100%.
 I don’t rely on AI for tone or voice. In fact, I often rewrite AI-generated lines to better capture what I’m feeling or what my characters would actually say. The raw emotion, the tension, the slow ache of the relationships—that’s me.
I use AI more for structure and brainstorming than for soul.

6. Is anything in your book written entirely by AI?

No. Every word that ends up on the page is guided, edited, or rewritten by me. AI may help me start something, but I always shape it—cutting, changing, expanding—until it aligns with the story I’m trying to tell. It’s a drafting tool, not a ghostwriter.

A little of everything—but only when I invite it in.
 I use AI to:

• Brainstorm plot twists or character arcs
• Draft early versions of scenes or dialogue
• Help tighten or reword prose in my voice
• Ask “what if” questions to test emotional impact or tension
• Organize my thoughts when the story sprawls (as fantasy loves to do!)

But I always make the final call. The story moves when I say it does.

I don’t see AI as cheating—I see it as co-creating. I still pour hours into building the world, shaping the story, and editing every emotional beat. If anything, AI takes more intention—it’s a creative tool I guide, not one that guides me.

As a mom, creative, and business owner with limited time and endless ideas, this partnership helps me keep the magic alive and the story moving—even when I’m tired. It’s not about shortcuts. It’s about staying in flow, on my own terms.

9. Isn’t it cheating to use AI to write fiction? Why not just write it all yourself?

10. Are you worried people won’t take your work seriously because of the AI?

Maybe. But I believe that truthful storytelling speaks for itself. If readers fall in love with my characters, get swept up in the lore, or feel something deep because of the story—I don’t think they’ll care how I drafted chapter five.
What matters is the experience they have when they step into my world.
And I built that world with heart, imagination, and yes—some help.

11. Do you think AI has a place in the future of authorship?

Absolutely—but I believe that its use should be ethical and transparent. My hope is that sharing my process openly will help others feel empowered, not threatened, by the idea of creative collaboration with technology. I believe there's room for human voice and technological tools to exist side by side, as long as the heart of the story remains human.

12. Is Andra C. Thorne your real name?

Nope. It’s my pen name—a space where I can fully embrace the world of Seyrith and the stories I’m weaving without limits. It lets me be a little more mysterious... a little more magical.
