How to Outline Like Brandon Sanderson with AI 

I've tried this before. It works all right. There are a couple of things you want to watch out for that I didn't see mentioned in the video. AI will start dropping or changing elements of your scenes, making them more generic, the more you iterate the outline. If you ask it for changes to the outline, you really have to watch closely so that it doesn't start eliding important details. Also, Over time, you'll find that it not only elides your details, but it starts trying to expand the scope of the story, Particularly toward the end, because it thinks it has to wrap everything up with some kind of moral consequence for things like heists, Where the morally gray characters suddenly decide to turn over a new leaf or something stupid like that. Every time I try to write a kind of Ended character study, chat, GPT, tries to introduce some kind of huge societal change, led by my previously morally, ambiguous character who doesn't care about politics or something. ChatGPT is familiar with Brandon Sanderson. As soon as you told it that you were mixing a novel with a master and the apprentice story, it probably started pulling concepts from. Mistborn.

So here's the thing about the 24 chapter outline. This comes from Derek Murphy (The Plot Dot, Book Craft). He states that with the 24 chapter outline, he usually has 2 scenes (and I think sequels) per chapter. So that's a minimum of 48 scenes. He'll even go up to 3 scenes per chapter, as needed. So that will give you somewhere around 48-72 scenes to work with.

This is fantastic. I've been working on something like this for a while, but coming at it from a different angle, using the 4 act structure plus 7 point plot structure and trying to mush them together. I'll give this a try! Thanks Jason!

I want to see your take on scenes/chapters: early, middle and late. Types, what should go into them, and how to engage audience. I'm at the point where I either want build up into an intimate/grand moment, or a subversion/twist.

Very useful ideas. Thanks!

Man, your channel is AWSOME!

Will the 40 Chapter Outline be made available on the blog when it’s done?

Awesome. Can you also make a video about how to use AI to rewrite a chapter in your old draft?

so I have watched a lot of videos about writing a novel, I started and I have issue of keep on adding and changing the story when should I know when to stop and move on to the next chapter or story?. I feel like I'm digging a hole and I'm in0 it and with no way out, ho0p0e this makes sense

Can you provide me with the prompt in its entirety?

But why would you want to outline like Brandon Sanderson? Why? Doesn't make sense to me. You can do whatever you want with the AI so why? Neat caption if you want to war against the writing community.
