    Hi. I haven't finished the video yet, but is it possible for the AI to fill in gaps vs full writing the novel? I essentially roleplay script-style with my family so I have finished books but only of dialogue and simple action, almost no sensory at all. Could this type of AI work with this?

    • @novelcrafter
      @novelcrafter 21 годину тому

      Absolutely! I've taken script-style writing and put them in the beat box before (dialogue beats). You may need to play around with the system prompts for the style of writing you prefer, but you could definitely get this to work! -Kate

    • @novelcrafter
      @novelcrafter 2 дні тому

      Hey! Absolutely. You can either do this manually if you have all your character sheets and the like written, or get AI to help you by extracting the characters, etc from what you've already written. In these videos I was trying to demonstrate the entire process, but you can easily adapt it and remove steps you don't need :)

    Can anyone explain the advantage of having a 0 book and putting your research directly into the "writing" portion where you would normally write your scenes, the way Kate is here? I'm not fully understanding why one would want to do it this way instead of chatting with the AI and placing the information you decide you want to use into the codex. When looking at the full novel context, your chats are not included, correct? So it's not like the AI will get confused about what storylines or information are part of your story? Or am I wrong about this? Confused newbie here...

    • @novelcrafter
      @novelcrafter Місяць тому

      Hi Jenna, I've made a book 0 to put in all my research to keep the main story 'clean' of all the random details that won't be relevant. Later, I will use this as information in future chats where I *will* go and put things in the codex, but at this stage, I don't know exactly what I want, and it saves me rewriting codex entries. And the sheer amount of information in book 0 would be far too much for the codex - I need to whittle it down and rewrite bits in my own words. You can use text replacement prompts on these too, for shortening etc. -Kate

  • @kit888

    I'm finding AI more useful in critiquing than in generating ideas or prose. I would disagree that AIs don't understand pacing. This is what I got from Claude. I fed in the whole text of HG Well's The Time Machine. This is only one query. I asked over 30 different questions about character personalities, character arcs, dialogue, grammar, subplots, themes. --- List chapters with pacing issues. Give the chapter number and title. Explain each choice. Here are some chapters that could potentially have pacing issues: Chapter IV - Time Travelling: This chapter contains a very long, detailed description of the Time Traveller's journey through time. While evocative, the extensive focus on the visual effects of rapid time travel may slow the narrative momentum. Chapter VIII - Explanation: This chapter is almost entirely exposition, with the Time Traveller theorizing about the future society. While important for worldbuilding, the lack of action or plot development could cause the pacing to drag. Chapter X - When Night Came: The extended sequence of the Time Traveller wandering in the dark and his internal musings, while atmospheric, slows the forward momentum of the plot considerably. Chapter XIV - The Further Vision: This chapter, describing the Time Traveller's journey to the far future, is quite long and descriptive. While fascinating, it comes late in the story and may detract from the urgency of the main narrative. These observations are based on analyzing the text as a newly written work, as you requested. The pacing choices may serve artistic or thematic purposes that aren't immediately apparent from this perspective.
