How can we make Sudowrite better?

Please tell us how we improve Sudowrite for you.

Standalone Chat Interface for Muse

Please consider introducing a minimalist, chat-first interface powered by the Muse modelβ€”similar to ChatGPT or Claudeβ€”for writers who find the standard Story Bible and multi-panel editor overwhelming. While Muse is exceptionally strong at fiction, many users simply want to paste a plot and co-write or expand multi-part stories conversationally through direct prompts without configuring complex project settings. A streamlined chat mode would capture the large audience of storytellers currently settling for general-purpose LLMs, offering a frictionless creative writing experience while acting as an accessible entry point to Sudowrite’s advanced toolset.

Manuscript automatic updates changes in the Story Bible

Actually the manuscript doesn't automatically update the changes we make in the Story Bible. The Story Bible though is a central part of sudowrite. The way how I develop a story more often than not I start with few people and also few locations. During writing new ideas, personas, locations and so on pop only then up. So to be forced each time when a change in the Story Bible is made to copy ALL the chapters already written, so that the manuscript integrates these changes is a NO GO! Sorry folks, your tool is astonishing and I LOVE to work with it. I just can’t understand that this feature hasn’t been developed from the beginning. So I gently ask you to develop this an integrate this in one of your next updates. Thank you for reading. For any questions feel free to contact me. Cheers

Text-to-Speech and Audible-Style Story Playback

I think one feature that would really help writers is a text-to-speech option that reads our stories back to us. Sometimes hearing the words is just as important as seeing them. Some ideas: 🎧 Audible-style playback of stories πŸ—£οΈ Natural AI voices that read chapters aloud πŸ”„ Background listening while editing or writing ⚑ Adjustable playback speeds 🎭 Different voices for different characters 🌧️ Optional ambient sounds or background music ✍️ Helps catch mistakes, improve pacing, and hear dialogue more naturally I think being able to both read and listen to our stories would help writers connect with their work on a deeper level and make the editing process much more effective.

Rewrite needs improving

I really think Rewrite should only use credits if you actually implement a complete change it wrote into the draft. OR it shows you a preview of what it’s going to generate, which you can refresh for something new and add instructions each time if it’s off which it tends to be, and it only costs credits if you generate it. It wastes so many credits because it just doesn’t get it right despite my instructions and I have to keep redoing it over and over. To bypass this, I use chatgpt to get it right and then Sudowrites β€œshow, don’t tell” rewrite feature because chatgpt is TERRIBLE at that. But thats so many extra hoops I have to jump through solely because Sudowrites Rewrite feature is EXTREMELY hit or miss. Like roulette tbh. And it’s an easy fix too…

Draft & outline generator

I write longer chapters and novels, so the default of it generating an outline of 20 chapters, and having each chapter relatively short doesn’t work for my writing specifically. For me, 20 chapters is just the first half. And it costs credits to do, which I then have to go in and fix which can cost more credits too. It’s counterproductive and a waste of credits. You should be able to select the length of each novel (how many chapters), what each chapter is going to be (so it doesnt generate something entirely off base because for me personally, I dont use sudowrite to write a blank canvas, I already have my novel worked out I just have executive dysfunction bc of my ADHD), and not cost outrageous credits. Generating scenes for a draft as well, Ill have 10 scenes on average give or take. I change scenes when the location changes but that doesnt mean each scene is 1500 words long, and Im very specific in writing out the scenes for the generator so they can be a bit lengthy. But Sudowrite says 10 scenes is too long…and Ill generate it anyway because it’s not outrageously long for novel standards. Itll stop generating halfway and say it reached it’s limit..but then I can just click generate again and itll pick up where it left off but it costs me credits full price each time. Despite not finishing the first time…it’ll take all the credits it said it would cost. And then I have to spend more just for it to finish. Kind of a rip off there.
