I use sudowrite to turn stream-of-thought into almost finished prose. I don’t exactly write drafts, but more like something inbetween a draft and finished prose. When I put these in the draft creator and ask to generate them into prose, I often get a prompt that it’s ”already finished prose”, but it still works as I wish it to if I continue anyway. Using sudowrite this way is a bit wonky with the current work flow. I need to be conscious of where I do the scene splits in order to not have sudowrite cut any of the material, or start inventing stuff on its own to fill out the 1-1.5k words per scene. It’s also a bit annoying to have to work in single-paragraph chunks to create appropriate length scenes within the draft.
My suggestion is to have a type of document called ”stream of thought” that works like a normal document, but has the prose generator functions at the bottom; ie without the use of scenes or the confines of ”how a draft should be written”. That way you can write very crude stream-of-thought style prose, making use of paragraphs, etc, to keep things organized and easy to overview, and then when you’re done, get to press the ”generate prose” (with the extra instructions), just like in the draft tool, but without having to worry about sudowrite inventing extra stuff to fill out pre-set word amounts for scenes, or cutting away material because it’s too much.
