I Let ChatGPT Finish My Novel. The Results Were Hilarious.

*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 ...

      @@VioletSorrengails 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 24 дня назад

      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!
