| Looks interesting! I'm working on a novella (human-written) and there are many things where I thought about how the graph of different relations is useful to keep in mind, and the lack of recursive outline makes (collaborative) editing harder than it needs to be. I'm thankful to be able to work with Latex/Pandoc (for epub generation) and Git while we're only technical people (I'm helped by one person for now), but dread when we'll expand the reading/implementing comments phase with non-technical people --who will probably annotate a pdf or epub? I'm not sure who exactly your target audience is, but I would infer at least semi-technical people.
For technical people I would say you should have the ability to edit text with your own editor (vim, or whatever), have a format that you could version control, and hopefully standard that you could be confident your book will continue 'working' in the future. Another thing that could be integrated is a generated graph of the character relations within nodes.
For example Chapter 1 involves A to E, Chapter 2 is only B, C and E, etc.
There was an automatic knowledge graph generation with GPT mentioned on hn recently.
Another thing that comes to mind is "the shape of the story". Based on the events you can consider if it's positive, negative or more subtle variations of moods.
The resulting timeline should be easy to check, and the Chapter's individual writing style should reflect that. I'm writing from the perspective of using the AI as an assistive tool rather than purely generative.
Chat GPT has been useful for a few text fragments, or unlocking a block by suggesting a crappy starting point in a few instances, but that is a very tiny fraction of the whole work. |
