Iâm thinking on switching back to ChatGPT (11 pts)
I switched to Claude after years on ChatGPT because I couldnât get anything out of ChatGPT when they made the big change. Few months back. Now, that my project is longer and bigger, Claude consumes a lot of tokens. Iâm reaching my usage within 2 hours with few texts. Itâs important to note that Iâm only outlining (very detailed outlines though) so Iâm wondering what will happen once I start actually writing each chapter.
One important thing to note though is that I wasnât using ChatGPTâs proje...

Heavy AI users rated their own writing as "not really my voice" and were perfectly happy with it anyway. (8 pts)
Most threads here come back to the same thing: consistency, and how to keep it across 30 chapters. That's hard, yes.

But when it comes to the characters, oh boy. AI is just hellbent on poli...

From Concept to Motion: How I Use Three Different AI Models to Visualize Novel Scenes (7 pts)
Visualizing a novel idea or a single scene can do more for your writing than you might expect. It sharpens your sense of character, setting, and mood, and sometimes reveals what is still missing in the text itself. After months of testing, I found a workflow that consistently works. Here are the three steps that bring your book and its characters to life.
**Step 1: Concept and Prompt with Claude**
In the first step, I bring my idea to Claude to nail down the visual concept. For my latest visua...
