This is why I’ve been working on some sort of novel for so long — my outlines often crash and I have to start from scratch. I get discouraged, don’t write for a little while, then start writing again, only to have everything crash.
Hopefully — HOPEFULLY — this won’t happen so much this time. I have a lot of hope for this new novel and I believe if I just am as methodical as possible that I can continue to zoom through the first draft.
One thing I guess was inevitable is I’m beginning to realize I can’t use AI as a crutch. While it helps a lot, it also produces ideas that just don’t fit my vision. Creative differences, if you will.
Anyway, I have a slightly different, new version of the novel that I am now working on. But at least I have a complete outline of the first draft. That’s something, I guess. I just have to sit down and do the writing.
And try not to lean on AI for development as much.
