Featured Success Story
This month, we’re celebrating hyper*soul, John McElhenney’s freaky look into the future and even the future of writing with his new definition of “hyperfiction.”
Hyper*soul represents the beginning of John’s fracturing. Hyperfiction is no longer just hyperlinks and online copy, McElhenney has redefined hyperfiction as a smashing of the novel into something post-novel. No one reads. So, how can we bring the writing to them? How do we break through is social media, video, tv, youtube, subscriptions, newsletters, podcasts… It’s all too much. AND… As you will see…
Not Enough.
John’s secret? He wrote during his shift at the grocery store every single day, turning what seemed like “not enough time” into her most productive writing period. Notes scribbled on receipts, post-it notes, and even texts to himself. The most valuable lesson: turn off the internal editor and write. Forget about commercial, successful, or good.
Just write.
In the memorable words of Henry Miller,
“Even if you can’t write, you can work on the business of writing.”
See John’s most recent hyperfiction project “time + space = love” where he’s breaking down the 4th and 5th walls of fiction, memoir, journaling, and personal growth, all in one massively swizzled and interleaved book of hyper-hyper fiction.
Writing is the goal.
What you create is exciting. Don’t discuss it with others. Finish the book. Then share it. Save the energy and enthusiasm for the writing.
Accelerate your creative process with tips, tricks, and writing habits. Write first. Don’t forget about the “business of writing.”

The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron is our inspiration. We can’t recommend the book and workshops enough. We want to extend the work to a platform using AI to help humans make use of generative AI. The artistsway.ai respects Cameron’s copyrights and occasions quotes for clarification of the original work. Artistsway.ai is an original work of writing and expansion by John McElhenney, the creator of the platform.
