This is primarily for Claude, which I use most. This is something that’s been pretty constant since I’ve started using Sudowrite, from Beats to Scenes. I know it’s partially related to now creative the LLM is, but wondering if anything can be done on Sudowrite’s end. I call it “scope creep" when the LLM continues to elaborate beyond the scope of what you specify in a scene. Sometimes this is helpful for creative inspiration, other times it’s unfortunately a starting point for the LLM to veer off on a wasting-tokens fest that gets the story nowhere. I know it’s customary to break scenes on a location switch and when one doesn’t abide by this, the LLM may “jump ahead” and start writing bits of Scene B in Scene A. But realistically in fiction, you can have more than one scene in one location. Yes, you can have a double-long scene, but I have noticed that the more you cram in one scene, the less prose gets generated by the LLM. It condenses, omits, details, etc. This, by the way, is why I don’t often let the LLM summarize or rewrite scenes —- they get decimated, the details lost. It would be great to have a feature that enforced “scene separation” that you could toggle on or off.
