Claude, one of the several LLMs I’ve been using to work on my scifi novel, keeps telling me that my hero is “too passive.” Claude is right, of course, but it rattles my cage a little bit because it means I have to rework some basic elements of the story. That means it starts to feel like work.
Writing a novel isn’t supposed to be work, it’s suppose to be fun. Grin.
Anyway, I’ve made great strides with this novel. Though I did have to throw almost everything in the air and start all over again when Claude gave me another very insightful criticism.
One thing I’ve been trying to avoid is have my hero talk to fictional world leaders. And, yet, I fear there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m going to have to face that particular situation head on and just get over myself.
