Sci-fi story and ChatGPT Update 2024_01_23
I'm posting this, in this thread, a thread where I posted a link to my first chapter five or six years ago! And the story itself is over 10 years old!
I'm no longer going with that chapter idea, I've got a better idea! Anyway just to bring you up to date with my story evolution here's my latest experiences with ChatGPT and an excellent add-in -
"Creative Writing Coach"
My sci-fi story is a mishmash of pages, embryonic chapters and ideas spread throughout my Google drive.
It just needs sorting out!
How? It's going to be a slog isn't it!
Then I discovered a chat GPT plugin called "Creative Writing Coach"
Idea! Get "Creative Writing Coach" to read through all my documents and advise me.
But how? Well, the creative writing coach can't access my Google drive but it can read from a PDF document. So I had a chat with ChatGPT and came up with the plan.
Append all of my documents in a folder into one master document, export this as a PDF and then interrogate it with chat gpt's creative writing coach. Chatty wrote me a Google app script to do this in a matter of seconds.
Then I interrogated the document with "Creative Writing Coach'' and it ferreted out characters, plots, story arcs, everything I should have been doing to make it easier to write the story.
Yesterday I was browsing through the newly available add-ins for chatGPT, and I saw one which created mind maps!
I fed the essence of my story into the mind map creating tool and blow me down if it didn't produce an excellent mindmap which I’m finding very useful!
Here is the mind map produced by ChatGPT plugin:-
“Diagrams - Show Me”
