New to AI writing tools? Here’s what actually helps.
1. Know what you’re asking for
Are you brainstorming? Getting feedback on a draft? Developing a character? The more specific your goal, the more useful the response.
2. Try Character Chat for stuck moments
Talking to your characters sounds strange until you try it. It’s surprisingly effective for figuring out motivation, testing dialogue, or discovering things about them you hadn’t considered.
3. Use reviews for revision, not validation
AI feedback is most useful when you’re ready to hear what’s not working. Ask for honest critique, then decide what resonates.
4. Ignore what doesn’t fit
Not every suggestion will be right. That’s fine. You’re the writer. Take what helps, leave the rest.
5. Keep your voice
AI can suggest, but it can’t replicate what makes your writing yours. Use it to clarify your ideas, not replace them.
The best way to learn is to try. Start small—a character sketch, a scene, a stuck plot point—and see what happens.
