Thanks Jason, great content as always. I used NoveCrafter to help me with my last novel, it was great! I've always been a pantser, but I never published because being a pantser meant massive editing, and I loathe that aspect of writing. With AI I was able to plan my novel in a week, so I didn't get burned out on it like I normally would. This made my job editing the novel much easier, and as a result, I published my first novel! I want to thank you specifically because you're the one that introduced me to this amazing tool. It's completely changed the way that I write. I hope that more authors start to learn that they don't need to fear AI, it's an amazing tool that can accelerate their writing. It's only when you abuse it and try to have AI do all the writing that you run into problems both legally and ethically.

Awesome Tutorial! A fter having started my Techno Thriller Novel and written the first 12 Chapters (out of the recommended 24) in Scrivener, I just spent some time today to import everything into NovelCrafter. It's unbelievable how helpful this AI based tool is for matching characters, scenes, and over all progress. I will continue to write the novel with my words, but having all these little AI helpers right in the tool is much easier than switching to ChatGPT, for example, to do some research.

Hey Jason, for those of us coming from Scrivener, I would love to see a side-by-side NC to Scrivener Comparison. There are plenty of things to love about Scrivener, and I know people love the one-time price. I also see people taking what they made in NC and then exporting to Scrivener to continue writing, but I don't understand why they do that. It is just their habit to write in Scrivener, but it seems an unnecessary step. That said, maybe you can show us your .. "I did this in Scrivener, but now I do it in NC this way." List of how NC has improved your workflow. I think some people are on the fence about switching.. so it may help a lot of people make the change.

I'm not currently using AI in NovelCrafter, but the codex additions is still a GAME CHANGER for me. I've been using it to keep track of the inventory in my litRPG and how far along my one character is in her transformation. I've also played around with using it to keep track of how many soldiers remain in the army unit one of my characters leads. The only other software that I've used that has had a feature that helped me keep track of this easily was the Arc Feature in Campfire, and a convoluted metadata system in Scrivener. I've really been enjoying Codex Additions even if I'm not using it for the AI.

@The Nerdy Novelist Thanks, a great overview. @53:30 you mention a fine-tuned model. Do you have a video on fine-tuning a model? Also, I assume this refers to writing style. Can I fine-tune a model to my "ideas" not just style? I have many idea snippets. They don't add up to a plot, but they convey the type of events I like. Can I fine-tune a model on them, so AI gives me plot ideas more "in line" with mine?

My detective protagonist faces some very nasty villains and their terrible deeds. I have quit Claude and Chat GPT because of their "moral restraints". I'm looking for a program that understands that some writing will include brutal scenes that have to do with horrible events.

All KZitem videos have date stamps; they are in the video description. I totally understand what you are saying, as when I look at videos about certain topics on KZitem, I sort my request to only show videos made in the last week or month. But the date is right under the video on KZitem, so it's easy to see. Due to how the KZitem algorithm works, few people would ever delete videos. A YT channel is ranked on the popularity of videos, so to delete them is to delete history. That is like saying you should remove old history books from Libraries. Older videos serve as time capsules to see how fast AI or any topic has come.

Love Novel Crafter for look and feel, ease of use and the dedicated team behind it. And yet I'm hardly using it for generating prose. I've found that no matter the model or what I put in the style codex, I'm having to edit and delete so much as to constitute a full rewrite. This might just be me, I'm not doing 'genre' fiction and I'm very particular about the style, being a lifelong reader and writer from long before AI came along. I've found that while giving good style instructions (show don't tell etc) certainly improves the output, it's still nowhere near what I had in mind, with lots of generic AI prose stuff. AI fares much better if, rather than 'telling' it what you want, you can 'show' it with concrete examples. I've adapted the superprompt method, but rather than including a sample chapter, I include 10 or so examples of input beats and output prose that I edited to be exactly how I want it, with no further style instructions than to look at the examples. I've been extremely impressed with the results so far. If NC ever integrates a feature where you can do something similar (I.e. providing concrete examples of the kind of prose you're aiming for, outside of the project itself), it would be the be all end all of AI assisted writing tools.

@@spaceemotion1 OK, just watched the video til the end and haven't tried this yet in NC, but I suspect this will work like putting a sample chapter into a superprompt. What I'm talking about instead is doing a small-scale 'fine-tuning', where you provide, say, 10 example input beats with the corresponding output prose you want. I've had some very good results with this, but I suspect it only works with beefier models like Sonnet 3.5 or Opus. I really like NC, but even with the recommended models, style instructions and on-the-fly tweaking of prose, I find myself having to edit the output to such an extent that I might as well generate it in ChatGPT and just do a full rewrite. I'm definitely interested in fine-tuning my own ChatGPT turbo model, but that's a cumbersome process, especially if you have different prose styles, like for writing short stories. Just sharing my own nerdy fiction writing findings here, but I've found the results with this specific technique to be far better than when just providing a prose sample.

I have a question. In my novel, there are two POV characters who are in completely different story threads, locations, and 100 years apart. The structure of the novel is that I alternate between POV characters each chapter. Because novelcrafter will look at the previous scene, I have an issue where at the start of a chapter the previous scene takes place in the other story arch. Currently novelcrafter does not let you pull an arbitrary scene into context. I'm thinking of writing all the chapters for one character POV back to back and the rearranging them when the novel is complete. Can anyone think of another way to do this?
