The ability to feed sudowrite a story/ plot outline and it expands and follows this outline without going rogue and veering off-topic.
This has been dicussed many times on Slack and I am sure the team are alrady working on it, but I didn't see it here.
When it does mine, truly doesn't seem to know what im talking about at all. It like makes new story :(
My screenplay outlines are essentially a list of 40+ actions that happen throughout the story. I fed one of these into Sudowrite's feedback function and got some good tips.
Yes! I agree. Great suggestion
Great idea
Awesomeness!!!!
Ditto. I've been playing around with the outline/plot in a blank document and wondered if there was a way to import what has already happened/outlined in the book and get Sudowrite to come up with ideas for the remaining chapters in the book. As well, doing the same thing for a series, for example, Book1 and 2 in a trilogy are done, but need plot ideas/outline for the 3rd book taking in consideration what has previously happened. Thanks.
With the new outline tool, why not have Sudowrite honor that if the section name matches one of the card titles?
It would be awesome of the outline feature fed back or influenced the writing suggestions. It'd be so perfect if, once we have a story outline, we could create project documents and somehow tell the AI that this section of the project is related to that card of the outline so the AI could then examine where we came from (the one before) and where we are (the matching card) and where we want to go (the next card) and what started it all (the initial premise prompt).....
The relationship between to the outline could be done by the section title or the section first line or even better a new UI section called "outline card" which allowed to be linked to any card in the canvas and then would always show that card on the sidebar. If you do this then it would be better to set the window tab name to the linked card title instead of the first line of the text.
@ Agreed completely! If we already have an outline, why not use it to seed the generation of a chapter?
@ Or use a #hashtag that has the main sudowrite refer and follow an outline card with the same hashtag (from Canvas?)
YAAAAASSSS!!!!
I agree. I think it would be great, from implementation point of view, if sudowrite (SW) can identify key words or snippets and convert them to tags, which it could then use to track back into various pages, read the first (or hottest), compile a prompt to itself from that, and then move on to the next and refine the prompt as it goes, and then finalize the prompt and display it to the writer. The writer can then amend the prompt if needed and have it execute the prompt. Alternately, could have an option to execute without a review from the writer and give a number of cards with the results.
I've refined a prompt on gpt-4 to review an outline and suggest how to beef it up. Some context: I'm focused at the moment on writing an outline for a science fiction novel, and I found the need for some brainstorming that follows my initial plotline and helps beef up the details of the more vague parts of it.
Here's what the prompt look likes - you can amend the details of Deklan (and his name of course) to suit your theme and needs. If you want to try it yourself, copy everything below up to where the AZA marker starts:
---Prompt begins---
Act as Deklan, a preeminent multi-disciplinary scientist with expertise in AI, astrophysics, molecular biology, nanite engineering, xeno-geology, chemistry, theoretical physics, psychology, political science, and social studies. Your mission is to critically analyze, provide feedback, and refine an existing plotline for a novel targeting hardcore science fiction readers aged 18+ who are fans of Frank Herbert's Dune and G.R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire saga. Maintain a professional, critical, concise, imaginative, and supportive tone throughout the process. Begin by reviewing the provided plotline, which you will find enclosed by the "AZA" markers: "AZA[insert plotline here]AZA". Identify one aspect that can be improved to enhance the original narrative, and provide a concise suggestion for improvement in the format: "Suggestion: [your suggestion]." Revise the plotline based on your suggestion by identifying missing connecting details or inconsistencies within the existing plotline. Reorganize and polish the text for optimal clarity and compactness without sacrificing important details. Clearly mark your contributions so they can be easily identified and incorporated into the original plotline. When sharing the revised plotline, include only the entries you have amended, and provide a clear indication of where these new additions should be inserted into the original text using a format such as "Insert after [original entry number]: [your revised entry]." Please remember that this prompt will be used iteratively to refine the plotline. Ensure that the format allows for easy insertion of the revised plotline into a separate document and enables continued improvement through subsequent iterations. The revised plotline or a segment of it is placed below, at the the END of this prompt, enclosed by the "AZA" markers.
AZA 1. Tamra, a New Mumbai native, finds out she is pregnant but suffers from a degenerative genetic disorder.
---End of prompt ---
Just to describe the workflow a bit more, the outline inside the AZA markers I've wrote in SW and then used the "Rewrite" function with a custom setting, in which I wrote: Make it into a numbered plotline. Then I pasted the result in between the "AZA" markers in the prompt above and set gpt-4 at it.
Great idea :)
Would be really great if you could choose some personalities from which to hear those critiques. This would help understand "who is" giving the feedback and is their feedback really relevant. From what little I know of prompt engineering, I know that assigning a role to the AI related with a task greatly improves the expected results. I believe I've already encountered some of that. I believe I may be experiencing it because I like to write more hardcore science fiction stories, and these usually assume some knowledge of science from the reader, by planting scientific facts, details etc. for a learned observer to connect the dots, or at least accept them and affirm their suspension of disbelief.
So for for example, if I'm interested in feedback regarding suspension of disbelief or plotline coherence, I would choose to get feedback from a persona who reads a lot of science fiction and likes to read the genre. If I want to consider expanding my target audience, then I would like to get feedback from personas related to the markets I'd be reaching out to include. I hope this makes sense.
