00:22:52 S. J. Pajonas: https://chat.openai.com/ 00:25:45 Dionne: Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback 00:26:56 Carol Van Natta: space opera! 00:26:57 kimberly: thriller 00:27:02 Steph: romance 00:27:05 Elle J: Supernatural cozy mystery 00:27:05 Julia: romance 00:27:15 Steph: bakery shop owner 00:27:15 Elle J: Shoe cobbler 00:27:17 Carol Van Natta: pilot 00:27:17 kimberly: fbi 00:27:20 Julia: ceo 00:27:27 Harper: coloring book artist 00:29:39 Carol Van Natta: love interest 00:30:24 Carol Van Natta: Those titles! LOL 00:30:34 Steph: Reacted to "Those titles! LOL" with 👍 00:30:53 S. J. Pajonas: Give me 5 story ideas for a space opera novel about a bakery shop owner on a remote space station. Let's include an alien pet, a mystery, and a ex-boyfriend. 00:33:26 Steph: I've seen it do the reverse as well without including it in the prompt. The biases go both ways. At least in GPT 4. 00:37:48 Steph: gpt 00:38:02 Harper: I like bits of both 00:38:08 Carol Van Natta: I'd take a blend of both, I think, then maybe see what Claude can do with it. 00:38:10 Renee: bit of both 00:38:16 Jeffrey Cooper: CHAT GPT 00:38:17 Julia: Bit of both 00:42:02 S. J. Pajonas: "Galactic Glazes and Grave Mysteries": As the renowned owner of a bakery shop on a distant space station, Alexia possesses a unique gift to detect hidden flavors and unlock secrets within her pastries. When a customer drops dead after consuming one of her creations, Alexia finds herself at the center of a mysterious murder investigation. With the help of her alien pet, a shapeshifting creature with an uncanny ability to sniff out the truth, she delves into a web of intrigue, discovering long-lost recipes, dark alliances, and a surprising connection between the deceased and her ex-boyfriend, a disgraced former space detective. 00:43:09 S. J. Pajonas: I like these ideas! Let's expand on #2. Can you give me a list of characters and a rough outline of this book. 00:49:14 Stacey: Can you add the prompt in the chat, please? 00:49:27 S. J. Pajonas: Can you expand the rough outline to about 30 parts or chapters? Please be detailed. 00:49:39 Audrea Martin: How do we get to the Future Fiction Slack or Writers Using Claude slack? 00:50:16 Christine: https://join.slack.com/t/writersusingclaude/shared_invite/zt-1v1govu1y-KgXZINHzKOp_k4MH2vNyvg 00:50:26 Christine: That's the link to the Writers Using Claude Slack 00:50:32 Christine: You can access it in your browser or download the app 00:51:13 Simon: Might you have gotten more from the Claude-instant-100 version in Poe.com? 00:52:57 Audrea Martin: Thank you! 00:54:05 Simon: Thanks! 00:55:03 Harper: If we access Claude from the Slack group, is that private? or does everyone on the Slack group see it? 00:56:52 Harper: Thanks. 00:58:08 Harper: how do we access your slack group? 00:58:26 Christine: https://join.slack.com/t/writersusingclaude/shared_invite/zt-1v1govu1y-KgXZINHzKOp_k4MH2vNyvg 01:00:46 S. J. Pajonas: 1. Varied sentence structure and length: Use a mix of short and long sentences, as well as different sentence structures, to create a more engaging and dynamic flow of words. 2. Breaking literary rules when it benefits the situation: Don't be afraid to bend or break conventional writing rules when it enhances the story, adds depth, or captures the reader's interest. 3. Realistic and believable dialogue with common human quirks: Craft dialogue that reflects natural speech patterns, without overusing idiomatic expressions or colloquialisms. 4. Pacing tricks that fit the scene: Adjust the pacing of the story to match the intensity of the scene, using shorter sentences and paragraphs for action-packed moments and longer, more descriptive passages for slower, introspective scenes. 5. Show, don't tell: Describe characters' actions and reactions to convey their emotions and thoughts, rather than explicitly stating them. 6. Use a balance of descriptive language and straightforward narration: Combine rich descriptions with simple and clear narration to create a more engaging and readable text. 7. Maintain a consistent tone: Ensure that the tone of the writing is consistent throughout the passage, avoiding sudden shifts in formality or style. 8. Intelligently shuffle and rephrase the text: Alter the sentence structure, introduce synonyms or paraphrase, and adjust the arrangement of words and phrases in a sentence, as well as the relationships between them, to create subtle variations in the structure of the text. 9. Use informal language with some sass and sarcasm: This will help people connect with Tilli. 10. Avoid using the following words: that, feel/feeling/felt, back, just, then, all, look, maybe, knew/know, say/says/said. 11. Avoid using adverbs: Instead, use strong verbs. 12. Use euphonic words, onomatopeia, alliteration, and strong similes: Bring more life to the prose with these but use them sparingly throughout the text. 01:02:18 Steph: Do you find that your style guide is "read" differently depending on the chat bot used? 01:02:29 S. J. Pajonas: I would like for you to write the first chapter of this book. Here is my style guide for writing. Please use this style guide to write your prose. 01:06:40 Carol Van Natta: Claude did a much better job at show not tell and using specific details. 01:10:30 Stacey: I have better luck with GPT 4 with tone for dark romance 01:11:00 Jacqueline Claire Reineri Calamia: How do you make a book blurb 01:11:46 Jeffrey Cooper: What Course would you recommend next 01:12:09 Audrea (AJ): How would you structure the prompt to get a “hookier” opening from Claude? 01:12:38 Harper: I find I have a lot more success using ChatGPT for outlining if I keep adding layers one step at a time. After the first output, I'll keep adding subplots or threads to the story one step at a time. 01:13:08 Harper: The main problem I have is I now have too many outlines to write, but I can't stop making them. 01:13:12 Jeffrey Cooper: I cant find any agenda for any of the courses on line 01:13:16 S. J. Pajonas: can you please write 5 loglines about this book too? Yes, please write in the same way to highlight the struggle and really hook a reader. 01:14:02 S. J. Pajonas: I would like for you to rewrite them to be less salesy. They need to tug at someone's emotions and really hook them. 01:14:43 Jacqueline Claire Reineri Calamia: Curious—when you generate prose how much do you keep?
