I used ChatGPT to edit but I write own stuff let it edited but it me writing as a actual writer I couldn’t feel comfortable, letting me write my story from because I can write my own stories, but I will say this is clever

Thank you so much for this much needed explanation Sydney, to the people entering this world of finding an "Editor" & a "Ghostwriter". It can be tough and there are some shady people out there. I was lucky to have my book written and published through "Writers Of The West" and that saved me a great amount of time and hassle!

No.

You really have to cut the text it creates and use Word to heavily rewrite it until there is 0% AI detected.

Can we talk

Hii

I don't get it why people critique AI so much. Many authors steal ideas from other authors entirely and that is thought okay but using ai not. So for editing purposes i use ai.

Do you copyright your 2nd or 3rd draft before getting beta readers to read and critique? Scared of someone being able to steal my book once I give them the draft for beta reading etc.

I’ll admit, I’ve used it. The entire rough draft of my current novel was written with ChatGPT, though I revised it to reflect my own style. I’m on my second draft, this time writing it on my own, though still using ChatGPT as a brainstormer when I’m stuck, or for feedback.

Thank you so much for making this video! These tutorials have been incredibly helpful.

Hey Sydney. I see you haven't uploaded in a while. Just wanted to say I hope you're doing ok :)

I just learned something new, thank you Sydney!

I've tried both. Imho sudowrite is far superior

Brainstorming session turning into messy wiki pages, I can relate! I have to ask myself, do I need this info for my project or am I saving some idea for a possible future idea. I am having fun (sort of) with Obsidian + GPT and Perplexity, it can also be a distraction.

Really nice comparison and guide. Cleared up a lot of things. One question I have about the Paper type, is the cream paper smooth like the white one or is it of the porous, rough textured kind like we get on a lot of self-help books, if you know what I mean?

I write things myself and edit myself, but I line edit with ChatGPT. For example, I will insert a paragraph or a scene, then ask AI: 'please polish this writing and make improvements where you see fit, maintain the prose and the atmosphere, line edit, proofread and polish some more'. The results I get are excellent, and then I can edit from there: 'rewrite verbatim, changing (blank) to (blank) also remove the phrase 'said softly'. It is an excellent editing tool Also, I love your luscious red hair. Yowza!

The way you explained this has helped me loads. I am writing a dark fantasy, and i have finished my first draft with the word count at 78k. It feels i am around around 12k under, so the tips you gave on the pacing are awesome.

Is this channel dead? It's been like three months

Could you tell me what sizes the books are at the end of your video? I couldn't understand the language well, thank you in advance, great content. Is the price more expensive for hardcovers?

I use ChatGPT to polish my chapters. I do my own work and have my own ideas.

For anyone that wants to use outlining or write short fiction on ChatGPT 4 now. After each prompt use the “Please cut out ChatGPT-isms in the prose and make the text in a beautiful tone.” It'll cut the flowery overwriting in the prose and give somewhat better results with it. I'm just throwing ideas out there. It even works on music generators.

Thanks for the review! What size was the hardback that you show in this video and the size of the paperback? Thanks!

I got jumpscared because the main character of my book is named Ajax- 😭

I did get the hardcover

I actually need to read this book. I bought it a little while back. I have a novellet that I had AI generate for me. I actually like it although I know it needs a lot of work. I'm terrible at prose, which is why I tried this to me to begin with. I realize that I need to teach myself to write prose and rewrite this particular story.

question? is it just me but, there are some part's that i like to write, like for example i love writing the action scene's. but i don't really like writing the talking scene's, so sometimes when i need to write, talking scene's? i write like half the chapter, and ask chatgpt to finish the other half, and edit out the thing's that are not consistent with the story and lore after. or i give chatgpt a prompt and edit the story that is come out of the chatgpt after.

There are several authors right now who are putting books out every few months that make me wonder if thats not what thier doing..... no real author can compete and WORSE ....gpt PULLS FROM OTHER CREATORS WORK...so real creators are being stolen from .

You call yourself an "author"?

How will Amazon know its AI generated if you dont tell them?

I've used it to edit and sometimes to improve the tone when my writing feels too flat. My concern is whether a publisher might consider it bot-written. I've received mixed responses-some say it would indeed be considered bot-written and thus not publishable.

0:42 The scientific definition is their children can have children.

I have written a few children's stories and illustrated them for the children of close friends, and written short fantasy stories for my own amusement. To my surprise it does a decent enough job The stories are never going to win a prize, but they can be surprising and fun.

Thanks, this and the comments were really helpful. I just sat a sudowrite ad and had never heard of it

I don't know about others. As for me, I make it a point to use AI as less as possible. Why? Because there is something called a writer's Ego, when tells me: "Write you own original stuff, instead of leaning on the crutch of AI to help you with your writing." And believe me, it is absolutely necessary to fan this writer's Ego from time to time, so that when the final manuscript is ready, you can say to yourself: "This is something that has mostly come out of MY brain, with only 5 -10% input from an AI tool." The joy of being able to say this to yourself is something magical. You can go to bed with a clean conscience, knowing that the final output is 90% original creation that only YOU are privileged to take credit for. As for the marketibility of the book and its ability to compete with AI-generated books in the near future, that's a different story altogether. If you are happy that you have written an original book based on your lived experiences and your own research, then that should be enough to make you immensely happy as a writer. Sometimes this happiness is all that's needed for a writer. Creativity and originality are most important for a true writer. Marketability and readership are also important, but that's Part II of the story. If the Part I is right, writers will naturally get the drive to explore Part II, through proper book promotion and social networking. PS: My comment may not be directly related to the contents of this video. I jus felt like expressing my thoughts, so I typed this 🙂

I heard that publishing it as your own is like plagiarism. My daughter constantly reminds me that I can’t use what AI comes up with. How do you go around the legality of using it as your own?

Hey Sydney thanks a lot for this video , I would love if you could give a short critique my world building and magic system, I need help on it and I need some advice and constructive criticism, please thank you 🙏

Jesus loves you

I have finished my first novel and was wondering how chatGPT would be able to proof read twenty chapters and would it be worth doing it? Also, does it keep anything I submit on file? In other words, would someone else be able to steal my novel?

Thank you

Does my 350-page novel count as a low-content book on kdp. I wanted to schedule a release for it but kdp won't let me since it's a low-content book. I was honestly gonna try and cheat the system and set my book as a large print that way I could set a release date. What should I do?

Thanks for the info. I tried sudowrite but did not do everything from the start. Still, it took me past my writer's block and well into the novel. Now I am testing 4O which does about the same. Both AI's cannot write more than a chapter without going off subject.

🙏

Excellent Sydney. a "10 out of 10!" Great Job!

I am using grammar how is it different than chapPGT?

My elves... They have a reproductive system of being obligate queuers, with a seperate male and female hierchy. They have a longer gestational period, and they only hit puberty at 20, and their narrow frames on a humanoid bodyplan do severely limit their ability to produce offspring. They have a fertility rate of around 5.9 to 6.1 children per women, but only one in four women would reproduce, because of them being obligate queuers, and the young being so altricial, and the birthing process so heavy on the mother that many would be too busy caring for nieces and nephews upon becoming fertile, that they might not choose to have their own off-spring. Bi-racial elves, have a unique way is that their colorations, to humans, there pigmentations look like the one of a generic white person, but to elves, having this combination would make them unusual. Also, those who are drow with dinurnal elves are typically predisposed to being late birds, nocturnal or diurnal, and tend to have very messy circadian rythms, or rather lack them entirely.

Wow, there is that big number again… 250,000 lol trying to give me nightmares? Great video. My process is after I carefully edit it, I hand it off to my editor who then hands it back to me all in red and I cry myself to sleep for a few weeks questioning if I should just give up. Then I keep going cause she is expensive, and I need to make my money back somehow. Then she proof edits and I cry myself to sleep some more. I then proof edit it twice. So my process is a lot of self questioning and tears lol.

Very useful thank you. I write non fiction and the create, edit, create edit, combine, etc. Is good to hear your take on it. It's exciting to be able to pull so many ideas together, synthesize them and produce a well researched annotated work in much less time then it otherwise would.

Hi Sydney. This is very informative. Been editing book 2 myself. Would you care to give advice on how to properly get kdp book cover dimensions for publication?

Hi Sydney, If I may ask. How can I make the dimensions of my cover fit properly for a kfo upload?

I just want to point out that Shadowdale is a place in the Forgotten Realms novels, a setting of D&D
