Newsletter 14th October 2026: Meat hooks and blank pages 💕 plus a revenue rescue kit and exclusive bonus

by Jan | Newsletters

Hi

Tonight, I’m heading to the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh to see Ian Rankin speak about his new thriller, The Heights.

Rankin has sold over 35 million books, his Inspector Rebus series defined the "Tartan Noir" genre, and he’s widely considered one of the greatest living crime writers.

Even with AI to help us be better authors these days, it takes experience and practice to write in such a powerful way that books fly off the shelves. And even more if you want to stick in the reader's mind.

In Mortal Causes, book 6 in the Inspector Rebus series Rankin’s description of the killing floor in an Edinburgh slaughterhouse was so viscerally graphic, so thick with sensory detail, blood, and mechanical coldness, that I haven't been able to eat beef, pork, or lamb since. I'm just hoping he never writes about poultry! 😱

But Rankin started just like the rest of us with the first word, the first sentence and the first page and then he perfected his craft one day at a time over decades. He had to write the bad sentences to get to the good ones until he had the kind of skill that could turn a carnivore off meat.

Whether you are writing a 400-page thriller, coding an app, or designing a new digital product from scratch, the rules of creation are entirely democratic.

If you’re staring at a blank canvas or a broken piece of code today feeling like an impostor, remember that the masters aren't born, they are built. AI can help but daily practice will take you to a whole new level no matter what tools you use. 💖

Bonus AI tip: Give AI a short piece you’ve written and ask: “Which detail will a reader remember, and where am I being too vague? Ask me three questions that would help me make it more vivid.” Then use your answers to improve the piece either in your own voice (if you're in practice mode) or with AI. 🤔

THIS WEEK'S LIMITED-TIME BONUS! THE WORK YOU DIDN'T SEE

The Work You Didn’t See

Not too long ago, I poured a lot of time, money, and enthusiasm into a project that looked promising on paper. I did the work I thought would be hardest, then discovered there was another part of the job I hadn’t properly pictured. I tell you what happened in this week’s bonus report.

The Work You Didn’t See will help you look beyond an exciting idea and discover what your next project would actually ask of you before you commit significant time or money. It includes an AI-guided interview you can use to think through your own idea, one question at a time.

I wish I’d asked those questions sooner. 😟

HOW TO GET IT The guide and accompanying prompts are FREE this week only as an alternative to a bonus from the bonus page when you use my affiliate link to purchase any of the qualifying products below from now until the end of day Monday 19th October. (To claim just send your invoice/purchase details to [email protected] giving your choice of bonus)

Hero Comic Prompt Studio

Hero Comic Prompt Studio is a web-based app designed to create 35 digital, Etsy, KDP, and print-on-demand product types with consistent comedic superhero characters.

To solve generative AI's notorious character-drift problem, its Character Lock engine embeds strict physical attributes, palette rules, and visual constants into every prompt so your character remains recognizable across multi-panel strips, stickers, mugs, and coloring books.

The app generates comedy using 59 structured "joke engines" and 300+ gags built around flawed superpowers (e.g., shrinking while your clothes stay full size), accompanied by a 902-entry copyright blocklist to steer clear of trademarked superhero tropes. Styles are described by linework and palette only, never an artist or studio to avoid problems.

To create your products, just copy the generated prompts into your own AI tool (ChatGPT, Midjourney, or Gemini.) The app includes commercial rights to use the prompts to create designs to sell.

Just $17 4 valuable bonus tools included. Offer ends 20th October This also qualifies for this week’s bonus from me
