I Let ChatGPT Finish My Novel. The Results Were Hilarious.
Переглядів 604Місяць тому
*Beep, boop. Greetings, earthlings!* Today, I did something crazy. I flew into the AI universe and let ChatGPT finish my horrible sci-fi novel I abandoned at 16 (I accidentally said 17 in my video, oops!). For writers, AI can be a brainstorming buddy, cowriter, even a hilarious storytelling experiment. Tune in to watch me share my old writing and see how ChatGPT compares! I asked it to write a ...

Ah! Came across your channel and so glad I clicked! Primarily a booktube channel but I LOVE writing content and this was so fun and nice!
That food looks amazing 🤩 and love the music 🎶 Amazing job as always 😊❤️
Aw haha thank you! So glad you enjoyed!🥳❤️
Haha 🤣 love this one
Funny 😆
So cute 🥰
i’m trying to write a dark fantasy book right now. any tips? good ways to start book off? how to keep reader engaged?
@@GetJinxed-POWS Oooh my gosh a dark fantasy, that’s so awesome! I’d be happy to help as best I can, thank you for asking! 😊 For starting a book - the biggest recommendations I’ve gathered include not pressuring yourself with the first sentence, but instead focusing on the first page/s hooking readers in. And also making the readers care by showing some of your character(s) quirks, humanity/relatability, and philosophies, routines. (The funny thing is, my writing style’s changed since I wrote my first chapter, so I’ll be applying these things when I go back and edit haha!) Also! Me being excited about writing the story is just as important to me as readers being excited about it. I try to keep in mind that I’m writing the story I want to write because I’m passionate about it! To keep looking forward to things and to keep readers engaged, one thing I tend to do is worldbuild/reveal details as my characters physically walk through their world more frequently than backstory. It’s another way I get to discover new things I hadn’t planned! Also, along those same lines, I flesh out my characters based on their ghost, lie, want, need, and truth (I used Jessica Brody’s “Save The Cat! Writes A YA Novel” to plan this). Every so often I check that my characters are driving the plot forward and not being passive. For a story’s middle especially, I focus on showing my character making decisions based on their misbelief/lie. These are the things that work best for me, it totally may vary from writer to writer and won’t apply to every story but! Hopefully it helps :) Please keep up the amazing work! Wishing you well on your writing adventure 🥳
@@AlyTheAuthor thank you sm! ❤️
@@GetJinxed-POWS Aw of course! I’m happy to help (apologies, my message was a bit long haha) 😂❤️

@@whynot6762 Hehe yeah writers! 😂😎
Hi Aly! I found your channel recently and now I watch every new video! I love your energy and passion for writing. I’m a huge fantasy fan and have been wanting to publish a book, and thanks to you I’m back on track! Lots of love and can’t wait for your channel to grow! ❤
@@camrynamelie9430 Aw hi Camryn! Thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it and I’m so happy you enjoy my content! YAY - please keep up the amazing work! ❤️
Not too bad at the start AI
It's good for some ideas but usually good to edit it. Haha I have some fanfictions that was just good practice
@@taliw7736 Totally agree. And fanfiction, that’s so awesome!! 😱Wishing you well on your writing journey 😁
Dang what a challenge!!
@@taliw7736 Haha the results totally surprised me!
you're super brave trying this and I hope you get the writer community that fills you up. Yes excited for fav quotes good ideas.
@@taliw7736 Thank you for the kind message, I really appreciate it! And aw, so glad to hear 😊
Sooo cute and well said thank you, Aly. Wishing you much success it's a lot going on. Plus the sun setting early :O
@@taliw7736 Thank you so much again!🥳
Absolutely loved this!
@@EmmaBennetAuthor Aw, thank you so much! So glad to hear 😊
I went to the comments hoping to find buzzing discussion about the writing- Im hoping this will be the case soon! Really enjoyed this as I cant write shit myself but love to analyse others writing 😅 Maybe next time you could share even more about what in particular you (dis)liked about the sentences you react to! Love❤
@sommerinberlin6595 Aww thank you, thank you for the well wishes, and for starting up the convo hehe! I’m really grateful for your feedback. One of my fav things is actually pausing a video and watching people line edit😂 Next time, I’ll do a deep dive into those sentences! 😎❤️
this is actually so motivating as someone who is just getting into writing. i can't wait to see more of your channel/journey!!
@@melissalynn267 Ahh this brightened my day, thank you for the kind words! I’m so excited to share it with you all. Hope you enjoy your writing adventure!!
Which scene do you think ChatGPT wrote the best? ✍🤔
Hi Aly - I really like the world- building advice and the character- building recommendations. Really good points as I’m starting my writing journey. Thanks for being such an inspiration❣️
Hi! So glad to hear it helped. The more my WIP progresses, the more its world comes to life, and that’s one of my favorite things! Thank you for the kind words 😊
It's very nice to meet you! Welcome welcome to the Authortube family! 🌻
So nice to meet you too! You've all made me feel so welcomed, and I'm very grateful and excited to be here. Thank you! 😊
@@AlyTheAuthor You're very welcome 😊 can't wait to see more content from your channel~ 🌻
Hey, can anybody in the comments tell me what the format is for manuscripts?I'm a newbie writer and I'm using Google docs atm but I need to know what the line spacing is, indents, etc..
Hi! Great question - I'll try to help as best as I can :) For prepping a novel for submission (to agents, publishers, and competitions, at least), I've been suggested Times New Roman font + 12pt as a good formatting. Double-spaced lines, 1in margins, and indentations by 0.5in. Also, page numbers in the header and a title page with your contact info. Wishing you well on your writing journey!
@AlyTheAuthor thanks, I appreciate the feedback!I'll definitely use that :) It's so nice seeing how supportive the writing community is.. Best of luck to you 💜
Aw, of course, I’m so happy to! And I totally agree, everyone’s been so uplifting and kind, I’m very grateful. Thank you too 💜
go for it!! if that’s what works for you. I write, rewrite, and edit whenever I feel like it. Staves off the writer’s block, because I’m not forcing myself to do or not to do something.
@@FrostKitty14 Love this! Thanks for the encouragement :) and happy writing 🥳
What a lovely library!
Ah! It’s one of my faves 😁
