With the help of AI, I’ve zoomed through the process of developing an outline for the first draft of the scifi “dramedy” I’m working on. Now, I think, all I have to do is just go through and actually write the thing out.
The second half of the novel was the least thought out, but, again, I turned to AI and somehow it managed to do what I couldn’t — come up with a coherent and very personality driven plot.
I do wonder how much the outline is going to change as I work my way through it. It’s going to “breathe” some as I realize some of the AI produced scenes just don’t work or don’t fit my vision.
But this is the first time that AI has really managed to help me with something creative that fit my vision.
I have to note, however, that I’m not going to let AI actually write any of the novel for me, outside of a few dribs and drabs here and there in the first draft. The second draft will be entirely human-written, for better or for worse.
That’s one thing I’ve noticed — my writing just isn’t as good as some of the LLMs I’ve been using. So, I really need to up my game.
