AI FINISH THIS NOVEL! Author & Raptor Write vs. The Draft

Introduction

Hello, everyone! We're back for an exciting extra bonus session, and it's almost cake time! For those who don't know, in my family, we have a special tradition: whenever I finish writing a book, we celebrate with cake. Last night, I mentioned to my daughter that I would be publishing a book soon, and her immediate response was, “Cake!” It has been ages since we had any, so we’re looking forward to it. This upcoming publication will also be special because it’s the first book I’m publicly acknowledging as being written with Raptor Write (WR).

While I will accept any constructive criticism, the truth is that the writing process still relies heavily on me, the author. AI is a tool that enhances my writing efficiency, much like Photoshop is to graphic designers. Anyone can use these tools, but having the skill to navigate them effectively is crucial.

I took some time earlier to prepare before jumping on the live session today, and we have some exciting updates. I had a small glitch, but thankfully, our developer Joseph swiftly addressed the issue. The "baby Raptor" (a developmental version of Raptor Write) has been improved, and we now have access to some new experimental features, including Gemini Flash models, which have just launched.

So, let's take these new features for a spin! I'll load my project titled "Moralities of Marriage," specifically Chapter 23, and start exploring what improvements the AI can recommend. I’ll run the AI to analyze the chapters for any plot or character issues. Interestingly, it began with the first chapter, providing feedback, albeit somewhat curtly.

Throughout this process, I encountered various suggestions, including how some chapters felt disjointed or lacked focus. It was clear that the AI was trying to assist but sometimes came off as somewhat critical. However, I believe its observations can be beneficial for editing and polishing the upcoming manuscript.

As I proceeded to work on Chapter 26, the AI's feedback prompted some creative direction for the story. It suggested several points for improvement, including character interactions and narrative clarity. By utilizing this AI model more effectively, I discovered it could be a useful partner in my editing process.

I eventually finished Chapter 27 and learned a great deal about how to balance the AI's comments with my vision as an author. After writing a substantial 23,854 words within a single week, I realized how significant the AI's role was in driving my writing efficiency, despite a few hiccups along the way.

For anyone curious about the costs involved in using AI for writing, I spent around $ 9 over the course of the week on AI services. Given the quantity of words produced, that cost translates to a minimal expenditure per word.

In conclusion, the journey of finishing this book using AI tools like Raptor Write has been a remarkable experience. The AI has been both a helpful editor and a creative co-writer. I’m excited to share that I've completed a book live on this platform, and I look forward to further refining the text before it goes to my editor. For anyone interested, I encourage you to explore Raptor Write and the AI-assisted writing journey for yourself!
