Jason. I discovered an AI superpower today that I wanted to share. Claude Haiku is absolutely amazing as an editor. I went into OpenRouter's chat, and selected Haiku. I then copy / pasted my entire 450 page novel into the chat, and told it to act as a developmental editor and answer questions that I had about my novel. It was amazing how good the feedback was. The best part? It cost me under $1! Compare that to a $5,000 professional, and I feel the quality is on par. I just had to prompt it rather than getting an entire report since Haiku likes to cutout. I found that breaking down the analysis on an Act by Act basis gave me really good results. I would ask things like: 1. In Act 1, what are the 5 biggest issues. 2. Analyze the pacing in Act 1, and list any issues found. 3. Analyze the character development in Act 1, and list any issues. 4. Identify the best parts of Act 1. 5. Analyze my novel for any potential copyright issues.
@@ralfwegener2192 I'm guessing you are using Anthropic's website. They probably have limits there. OpenRouter uses the backend API and OpenRouter (or NovelCrafter) will let you send your entire book into a query.
You can edit the backend prompting on NC to pull in writing samples as a fine tune of sorts using snippet or putting it in the codex. It works even better than actual fine tuning and you can have different samples for different things.
Good rundown. I was hoping you would address the chapter titles being one off from the chapter count. The title for Chapter 7 was "Chapter 6", for instance. Do you need to manually adjust ever chapter title, or is it just a setting somewhere that needs to be changed and is fixed when you regenerate the chapter titles?
For Claude 3 to pick up your style in a new scene, do you have to make a special prompt or change any settings? I usually write the beginning of the scene, as that is included in the standard prompt.
@@Edino_Chattino Hi Eduardo, I asked this question before, but youtube seems to have eaten it. How do you attach your files with everything? When I try that Opus tells me, you can only upload up to 1500 words. I would really appreciate an answer
@@ralfwegener2192 Opus has a 200k version and a non-200k (can't remember how much). The 200k can be accessed by their API or through other sites like Poe.
@@Edino_Chattino thanx for your answer. I access Opus via Poe, I have no other choice since I live outside the US. According to what you're saying I suppose the non-200 k is probably the default version. But I don't see anywhere a button where I can change to the 200k version. Am I missing something?
In the video you say its best to fill in all the chapters. What if one is a real pantser of a writer and can only see the story unfold as you go bit by bit?

This is really interesting. I wonder if the Nerdy Novelist would be able to do a how-to video about this process. thanks!
How could you paste 450 pages into the chat? If I paste more than ten pages, Claude tells me, the text is too long
@@ralfwegener2192 Use the chat on OpenRouter's page. It lets you paste as much as you want.

Crikey all that tech sounds so complex and scary, now I feel like finishing the writing myself tbh
Great video. I had already started my novel (been a long work in progress) and this helps getting this into NovelCrafter.

Interesting. How did you do this?
I would love you to do a short video about what you put in the Style section of Novelcrafter.
Enjoy your content. Your audio in last few videos sounds like it’s doubling or echoing
Sounds like it’s picking up the mic on the computer and ignoring the big white job.
At least it’s fixed your lip sync problems.
Muahahaha no more abandoned fanfiction stories ever again!
What a brilliant idea!
dangerously based
Thats literally what I’m trying to do because it still hasn’t been finished
which of the claude 3 models have you writers found best to work with? I thought Opus was the overall best?
Good rundown. I was hoping you would address the chapter titles being one off from the chapter count. The title for Chapter 7 was "Chapter 6", for instance. Do you need to manually adjust ever chapter title, or is it just a setting somewhere that needs to be changed and is fixed when you regenerate the chapter titles?
There is a setting in the “Plan” scene view. Click the three dots and any chapter and click “Disable Numeration”. Then “Enable Numeration”
I wonder how this process applies to writing sequels to preAI written material?
This is what I’m wondering too.
Before, you did 12 scene beats for a scene. With Opus, do you use the same or just write one scene beat at a time,e and see how it goes? Thank you!
Hi, How to upload my 90 page film script for a character point of view rewrite? I am a feature film producer Clifford e wright
Could you maybe make a video about writing a movie script with Novel AI?
Thank you. How do you export your manuscript from NC? Can it be exported into a Word document?
Yes. There's an export function there.
Yes. But you’ll still want a good formatting tool like Atticus to make it presentable for sale.

If you're using opus, I simply attach a file with everything I've written so far and it works its magic.

@@ralfwegener2192 I can't post pics here, but if you go through your LLM choices, there should be one that reads Claude3-Opus-200k
This looked interesting so I signed up for the trial, but when I tried to upload my novel, nothing happened.
What if you write the first chapter and allow the AI to write the rest instead of using a super prompt?
In the video you say its best to fill in all the chapters. What if one is a real pantser of a writer and can only see the story unfold as you go bit by bit?
Then you need to make sure you have a VERY solid understanding of story structure and what kind of things should come next.
Is this free? I found out it was only a trial after following the steps shown in the video...
Did you manually copy every single scene???
