For the average writer, completing a novel from start to finish is not an easy process, especially without some help. As experienced writers, we are here to tell you that AI assistants are a great way to streamline your novel writing experience. So, what do AI assistants do and how far have they come? Let’s explore the answers!
Getting An Idea With An AI Assistant
Generating a new idea has become one of the hardest parts of beginning to write a new novel. You could write a novel with AI using an assistant as the starting point. An AI assistant helps you develop and pursue new ideas by allowing you to include prompts that make sense to you and then add some details to them to begin to bring them to life. The simple process of using an AI assistant involves adding some of your own details and asking the assistant to take a few actions based on what you’ve provided.
Overall, this helps you provide a broad or specific idea, and lets the assistant reach out to the rest of the Internet to include the details you might not have thought of. One of the coolest parts about an AI assistant is that it doesn’t mind being told you disagree, so you can keep asking for suggestions until you find a good one.
Creating An Outline
Making an outline of your story tends to be a difficult, time-consuming part of the process. With AI, you can get a simple visual storyboard that tells you, chapter by chapter and paragraph by paragraph, where you are going. Trust us, this is a lot better than manually writing out a board that tells you where your plot is going so that everything makes sense in the end.
One of the best parts about creating an outline within AI software is that you can easily go back and change if you decide to modify any element of your story, big or small. While many writers use outlines in their effort to create a novel that is well tied together, they shouldn’t ignore how AI can make that process easier for them.
Producing Interesting Moments
Once you’ve started writing your novel, you’ll likely want to write scenes that involve trying to resolve issues with weapons or words. These are the very scenarios that drive the novel forward and add drama to make your writing more interesting. AI can help here, too, by using your existing writing to create good dialogue and creative wording for your characters, while adding elements to your scene that will satisfy the reader’s desire to know more.
Editing Gruntwork
When you get seriously into writing your novel, it’s hard to want to go back and correct small grammatical issues, misspellings, and things that take you off the creative thought process that propels your novel forward.
AI can help cut back on the amount of time you need to spend editing your work. Instead of sending your novel to your friends and having them do the nitty-gritty work, they can just read it and enjoy it. Seriously, AI is like having an advanced spell check that takes care of much of that work for you, including the tone and facts within your novel, if that is important to you.
Adding Deep Characters
Solid, well-rounded characters are part of what keeps readers in novels. While you could go on your own trying to develop personalities, phrases, descriptions, and the many written things you’ll need to make a character come to life in the mind of another, you can also rely on AI to help come up with some ideas too. As we mentioned, when it comes to producing ideas, AI doesn’t mind if you keep rejecting its thoughts. It just produces more. That’s part of what makes artificial intelligence so effective at helping writers along – it adapts to you and delivers what you need when you ask for it, including character profiles that make your story entertaining.
Someone To Talk To
You will definitely need some human interaction and help to write a successful novel. Humans have good ideas and connected emotions that understand your novel on a level that AI can’t – and will ultimately make it easier to sell. But, you don’t have 24-hour, 7-day-per-week access to humans that can help you write away. If you are stuck and don’t have ready access to a person with the knowledge you need, AI is a great start to at least get something done while you complete reaching out to someone. AI has the potential to help you faster, as it thinks much faster than human beings – with the primary flaw of not thinking about emotions
Conclusion
AI assistants can be incredibly helpful in dreaming up your novel. A robot assistant has the capability to help you explore new ideas while organizing your characters, plots, and thoughts. AI also has the advantage of being constantly available and never feeling let down if you don’t use its ideas.
