How to Use NovelAI for Writing Fiction

This paragraph introduces the topic of Novel AI, a writing software tailored for fiction and storytelling. It highlights the growing trend of AI models designed for writers and how Novel AI specifically caters to creative writing. The video aims to educate authors on leveraging AI to enhance their careers while retaining control over the creative process. The instructor, Stacy, from Future Fiction Academy, encourages viewers to subscribe for more AI-related content.

This section breaks down Novel AI’s pricing plans, detailing the context window or 'memory' that each tier offers. The $10/month plan provides around 3,000 tokens, $15/month offers 6,000 tokens, and $25/month includes 8,000 tokens plus early access to new features and credits for image generation. The main feature emphasized is the memory size, which affects how much previous text the model can reference, influencing its storytelling capabilities.

This paragraph introduces the Novel AI dashboard, explaining its key functionalities. In addition to writing stories, users can generate images and use text-to-speech models. Writers can revisit old stories, import new ones, or create fresh content. It highlights two modes: 'Text Adventure Mode' for RPGs and 'Storyteller Mode' for more traditional writing. Users can also choose from different AI models, including the latest model 'KRA' and legacy models.

Here, the focus is on customizing how Novel AI generates text. Users can adjust the style of the output, like 'Text Adventure' or 'Pros Augmentor.' The paragraph also explains the use of presets for quick customization, noting that the Novel AI Discord community shares such presets. Writers can modify variables like randomness, output length, and repetition penalties to craft a personalized writing experience.

This paragraph details how users can guide Novel AI by adding memory, providing the AI with background information such as genre or story premise. Additionally, the author’s note allows users to influence the tone or focus of the story. The lore book, a feature where all relevant story information is stored and accessed, is highlighted as a powerful tool for deeper narrative control, though its advanced functionalities are reserved for a future video.

This section explains how Novel AI functions as a completion model. It works best when users provide a story starter or some existing text, and the AI continues from there. A demonstration is given using the opening from Jane Austen’s 'Pride and Prejudice.' The AI-generated text follows the style and characters of the original work, and users can adjust or rewrite parts to steer the story in a new direction.

This paragraph elaborates on how users can alter the generated story if they are not satisfied with its direction. By editing previous text or providing new input, Novel AI will adapt and continue the story accordingly. The paragraph also discusses how color-coded text helps differentiate between AI-generated content, user edits, and original text.

This paragraph introduces the use of curly brackets to give direct instructions to Novel AI. This feature allows users to include information or guidelines that aren't part of the story but are meant to influence its direction. An example shows how these instructions can lead to drastic shifts in the narrative, appealing to writers who prefer more control or want to make real-time adjustments.

In the concluding paragraph, the instructor emphasizes that Novel AI offers flexibility for different types of writers, including those who prefer a more hands-on approach. More advanced features like the lore book will be explored in future videos. The paragraph ends with an invitation to join the Future Fiction Academy, promoting access to live lessons, recorded content, and a cutting-edge AI tool called 'Rexy.'
