How to write an entire Novel with the new ChatGPT 4 

This is such a genius tutorial. I am surprised this does not have way more views. Thank you for taking the time to break this down.

I have no clue how to write a whole novel, but I always wanted to write/create my own fantasy action/adventure novel. Thanks man I’m definitely going to do this

Hey there. That's a good video with some nice information for people who are looking to write a quick story and don't really have an idea about where to take it. If I do have an idea myself, I write the list of chapters and a short summary of each chapter myself. Then I ask ChatGPT to write a summary of the story for me (or at least the act that I want to work on). And then for every chapter, I first ask it to write an outline based on the chapter summary I wrote. And then I ask it to write the actual chapter. That gives me a pretty good and coherent storyline, and it's quite satisfying to see my own ideas come to life. It also helps to explain ChatGPT to focus on storytelling concepts like "show don't tell" and "character development", or to ask it to include a lot of actual dialogue instead of describing what the characters are saying. That way, the stories become much more vivid. Have fun with ChatGPT!

Hey everyone, thanks for watching, give it a like if you found it helpful! Appreciate you! Most important point is ChatGPT doesn't have a long term memory, so you need to: A. make parts of the prompt that export succinct snippets in addition to the main content you want it to remember later... and B. include that extra information in all future prompts, whether that is chapter titles or foreshadowed events.

Just tried it out, I'm saving this vid to my favourite's, wow thanks x

Dude, thanks for creating a video that will me write a book. Straight to point, without a lot fluff.

I'm very impressed with your video. Others basically say to get GPT to create an outline, then just constantly "please continue." I finally got to Chapter 20 of my novel. By 18 I had maxxed out GPT4 and I used the default which was very different. I still have a lot of tweaking and rewriting to do, but now I have "the bones" of a novel. I have been stuck on Chapter 1 for too long. I'm really glad to have found your channel. I wish you well and I look forward to other videos by you.

Thank you to the video for all your hard work and dedication. Your content has brought me so much joy and I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Try 1. You are a {Genre} author. Your task is to write {Genre} stories in a vivid and intriguing language. Answer with "..." if you acknowledge. Don't write anything yet. Genre = Sci-Fi 2. THE PROMPT Title: [Insert story title here] Setting: [Insert setting details here, including time period, location, and any relevant background information] Protagonist: [Insert protagonist's name, age, and occupation, as well as a brief description of their personality and motivations] Antagonist: [Insert antagonist's name, age, and occupation, as well as a brief description of their personality and motivations] Main Plot: [Insert the main conflict of the story, including the problem the protagonist faces and the stakes involved] Dialogue: [Instructions for using dialogue to advance the plot, reveal character, and provide information to the reader] Theme: [Insert the central theme of the story and instructions for developing it throughout the plot, character, and setting] Tone: [Insert the desired tone for the story and instructions for maintaining consistency and appropriateness to the setting and characters] Pacing: [Instructions for varying the pace of the story to build and release tension, advance the plot, and create dramatic effect] Optional: Insert any additional details or requirements for the story, such as a specific word count or genre constraints] Fill out the template above for a {Genre} story Genre = Sci-Fi + 3. Build story outlines from the factors above: + 4. Great, now create story chapters from the outlines above: 5. Write Chapter 1-10 in depth and in great detail, in an intriguing writing style:

I tried this and was amazed at what it did. Certainly this is a cure for writers block! The 6000 limit to its reply are limiting but that can be worked around and I'm definitely going to play with prompts alot more! A good detailed synopsis really helps.

Excellent! I shall try this one thing I have found is chatGPT like to 'Tell" the story rather than 'show' I started a genre I've no experience in between the two of us we are getting it done. I find myself doing some rewriting but mostly it's me guiding the story my way.

Wow this is very interesting! I need to watch your video a couple more times just to really understand this process. Thanks for sharing.

I used this chain and honestly pretty good even for gpt3. I started it as as Acting as prompt but all in all works great

this is very useful. Thanks a lot! I'm gonna try now.

Thank you for such an informative video

So helpful tank u

very helpful and thank you

Nice! How do you solve / address the issue when the generator times out and stops mid response? Do you see this as an issue in your process? any simple solutions?

Great vid, Im curious, how does this new update compare to the bing ai? That is apparently using a newer version of chat gbt, not sure if its worth upgrading to chatgbt plus if bing can do it for free?

I used the snowflake method to plan and write my story.

Is your book a novel with more that 50 000 words? Or less? If I saw correctly you asked chatgpt to write 10 pages for each chapter? How many words is that?

Thanks

How do you deal with dialogue?

Hi Larry

This totally does NOT work. The chapters are way too short, despite telling it to not give away the next chapter, it does anyway. I tried breaking it down by paragraph instead of chapter, and still wouldn't do what I ask.

This takes all the spontaneity out of writing, you don’t write novels with outlines and pages upon pages of prep-work, you just write them! This it’s what non writers do not understand, they get so wrapped up in world building and fleshing out characters before they even fucking write the thing, you are not a writer, non of these bandwagon AI “authors” are

The title of this should be 'How to write an entire shitty novel with the new ChatGPT 4'. I guess it's a good thing no one reads or buys books anymore, because the flood gates of no talent wanna be writers are swinging wide open. It was bad enough when Amazon let people self publish their "books" but this is going to be the final nail in the coffin.

it's very hard to make a novel with GPT 4 has to be considered as novel a book need to be at least 40,000 words and this is without considering the average of bestsellers is over 90,000 words. so I come up with an Idea of adding some prompts based on the prompts you sowing us in your video which have helped me a lot. Please assign a number to each paragraph. This number must represent numbers in tens so the number of the first paragraph will be 10 and the second 20, etc... Now give a name for each paragraph with their number the format must be: “paragraph number”: “paragraph name” Then give me the story of paragraph 10 from the list below by adding subparagraphs. The end of this paragraph should set up the start of the next paragraph, paragraph 20, but don’t include anything that could be from that paragraph. It should be longest as possible without repetitive words. And focus on telling long sentences about the small parts of that paragraph; Introduction to Amauna and Asha, and do not give away anything that would be relevant to the later paragraph, only foreshadow things that could possibly happen in the latter paragraph. Do not tell the ending of the story or try to wrap up the story. Every story should end without completing the narrative. The focus should be more on describing the visual of the story than progressing the storyline. I want you to include past foreshadows events when that makes sense Then end with 4 blank lines with just a period. then I do ask GPT to add subparagraph well I was not aware as a such of thing as subparagraph exist maybe that something I just invented but its work
