How can we make Sudowrite better?

Please tell us how we improve Sudowrite for you.

Let us have beats again. SERIOUSLY.

Beats were one of the reasons I bought sudowrite. I miss beats so much, I could just write what I was feeling and see where sudowrite could take it, it gave more creativity and flexibility. But now, it’s forced structure. :( Bring back beats. Or at least let it be a choice. With scenes, anything more than 3 gets wonky. As in when I try to do more than 3 scenes, it gets cut off sometimes. The beats were better as you could do more, and add more detail without it being clumped together. Beats were one of the reasons I bought sudowrite. I miss beats so much. I could just write what I was feeling and see where sudowrite could take it, it gave more creativity and flexibility. But now, it’s forced structure and 9/10 times the scenes that are created are literally reworded/copied pastes of what i was forced to write. With beats, I could just draft an idea and it just tossed what it thought I wanted to go but it would open the doors for creative possibilities. Or give us the ability to toggle between different versions of features/sudowrite. I prefer some of the older features honestly because I am someone who has ADHD. I would rather have the power to toggle sudowrite to keep beats vs scenes the separated bible vs the newer one long section. (I liked my separation) Make chatting with Higher Quality be less expensive credit wise. it’s a credit bleeder. Make 3 months / 6months subscriptions. Allow us to choose two options within chapter generator; Scenes and/or Beats. I rather miss the features of Beats because it helped created a more natural flow with integrating through scenes and dialogue, and made editing much more easy. I would create sometimes 50-100 beats to create a chapter, with the new update with muse, it’s now like 2 scenes formulating 2000+ words of useless reiteration, cliches… it just feels like a mess. I have to either heavily edit or just not use it at all. Just a lot of credits being wash down the drain. Pleeeeeease bring beats back.

Series Saga Support - Per-Book Character Roles and Master Bible Functionality

Subject: Series Saga Support - Character Versions, Per-Book Roles, and Master Bible I'm writing a 50-book series saga following 20 core characters over 10 years, organized into 10 interconnected sub-series with overlapping timelines. The current Story Bible system has critical limitations for this use case: Core Issues: Character roles are global, not per-book. I cannot designate Jett as MMC in his book and supporting character in Owen's book without manually toggling tags every time I switch projects. With 20 characters appearing across 50 books in varying prominence, this is unworkable. No character versioning for aging arcs. My characters age significantly (Rowen appears at 16 in the lead magnet, is 24 in his own series). Currently I must overwrite character descriptions to reflect current age/appearance/circumstances, which destroys my ability to reference younger versions for flashbacks or continuity checks. Yes I can put some stuff in the backstory but not as detailed as having Sudo able to remember certain things that would be beneficial to character development and arc. I maintain separate documents per age that I manually swap in, but this is error-prone and Sudowrite cannot see the full character history. No master saga bible. I maintain comprehensive worldbuilding (restaurants, schools, businesses, sports teams, character relationships) that spans all books. Currently I must recreate or re-link this for each new series, even though the content is shared. Book numbering chaos. Series order doesn't accommodate parallel timelines or lead magnets that predate the "official" series start but share continuity. Requested Features: Per-book character role assignment (MMC, FMC, supporting, etc.) that persists per project Character versioning/branching: ability to maintain multiple ages/states of the same character and tag which version appears in which book A "master bible" layer that feeds into all books in a series folder without duplication Flexible series ordering that accommodates parallel timelines and prequel lead magnets Context: I've been developing this world since 2013. Sudowrite has dramatically accelerated my output (from one book every 2-3 years to 6 per year), but the Story Bible friction is becoming the bottleneck. This isn't an edge case, it's a legitimate series saga structure that many long-form writers use.

Hello everyone,

You can probably tell at a glance: I’m not fluent in English. In the age of AI systems, however, I would have expected it to be possible to automatically translate content into the user’s preferred language. I find this particularly unfortunate when it comes to the user interface itself. You work with so many AI systemsβ€”wouldn’t it be possible to automatically adapt texts, descriptions, and feature explanations to the user’s language? Right now, I have to regularly send screenshots of the Sudowrite interface to ChatGPT so that someone can explain to me what new features are even supposed to do. This is frustrating because I pay a lot of money every month for a tool whose features I often barely understand without additional help. You have the technical capabilities to change this. Please do so. May the force be with you.
