Mike Taylor's AI writing workflow: 1,200-word pieces cut from a full day to under two hours

Following his "13 beliefs about AI writing," Mike Taylor details the full workflow behind his pieces—picking a title, arguing with his editor, and coaching Claude to write like him. He says the process cut his time on a 1,200-word piece from a full day to under two hours, with no drop in traffic or positive reader comments.

The core idea: good writing with AI starts before the prompt—gathering raw material (experiences, debates, noticing which topics make people's eyes light up) remains work the writer can't outsource. He shares the process so readers can adapt it to keep their own voice while getting the most out of AI.
