For everyone who wrote to me requesting to get a copy of my story, I shall be quite busy for perhaps a week. My sister and I are trying to find some way to get IHHS for our aging mother because it is no longer safe to leave her alone. Unfortunately that is going slowly. So one or the other of us has to sit with her.
Or look at a Swords and Sorcery book I'm writing. This is not an erotic story per se, but it does have some mostly off stage sex, also most of the violence, of which there is plenty, is off stage. I'm hoping that I got the adventure correct so that you'll like what you see. What I'd like now is an honest opinion of what you see, and if you're willing a correspondence so that if I continue to move at my current pace you can help keep me focused so that I can not have the story get 'constipated' for another four years. If I already have your e-mail address from previous correspondence just send me a reminder at my e-mail and say I'm in. Otherwise I'd be pleased to add new readers, so if you want onboard, please do drop me a line here!
To use the fucking em dash. I admit that I do occasionally use em dashes, but I consider them to be the writing equivalent of ghost peppers. If you must use them use them very sparingly! Notebook AI on the other hand thinks the damned things are better than having a jar of honey and a loaf of bread!
Still as an organizational aid, the program is adequate.
So I've used NotebookAI on a story that I've had somewhat on the back burner for a while as it had stalled for various reasons. I had an idea that I wanted to write but I was losing track of the various characters so I actually needed the AI to create a master list of characters mentioned in the story, whether they were alive, dead or some sort of spiritual being... Etc
What I will definitely trust the AI for in the future: Keeping names lists
Light research (naming conventions)
What is iffy: The AI's analysis of character voices. It put words in the mouths of people who are mentioned but so far have remained off stage.
To be discounted entirely:
So called clean copy. I found what the AI created from my uploaded files to barely resemble the inputted files that were its basis.
What I apparently can't do at all:
Invite others to see what the AI is doing and the results. Which takes humans out of the loop.
Conclusions:
A decent research tool, but not terribly trustworthy to carry forth your vision.
I will definitely be looking for an editor for a Swords and Sorcery type of story when I feel I have an acceptable conclusion to what I'm writing. I don't have a firm completion day or exact end point in mind so that is somewhat nebulous, though just working with the AI has somewhat helped me improve the impact of my writing in my opinion.
Just like with a human editor or proofreader, eventually the author must make their own choices or the story is no longer theirs.
I've got a case of chair but buns. I up at around 3 AM this morning (Sep 18) and I've been consistently working with only a few breaks on either feeding my story to the NotebookAI or reading reports from the NotebookAI, or pieces of my story to make sure the AI does stay on track. In between doing that I've managed to add nearly a thousand impactful words to my actual story as well as create a nearly 2200 word 'world legend' to help me guide the rest of my story. I've got a possible ending that I believe would be somewhat satisfactory though I don't know how long exactly that will take to write, because it's only an idea that I haven't committed to electrons, even in my 'legend'.
