This video provides a detailed 30-day (actually 22 working days) action plan for using AI to help write a complete novel. 👇

Core mindset:
You don't need perfect ideas, superb writing skills, or half a year of free time.
What you need is: a clear plan, daily goals, and to treat AI as an assistant (not a replacement).
AI's role is a "super intern" or "temp worker": fast, occasionally genius, often careless. You are the showrunner, responsible for guiding and screening.
Specific steps (30-day plan):
Step 1: Brainstorming (Days 1-2)
Don’t stare at a blank page in silence. Have AI interview you instead.
First, determine the genre (this is a marketing decision that sets reader expectations).
Answer AI’s questions: What emotional experience do you want readers to have? What tropes do they like? What scenes do you want to explore?
Let AI organize a story dossier and premise.
Special tip: On the first day, commission cover design (based on genre and core visual elements); this makes the project feel real and motivates you.
Step 2: Character Development (Days 3-4)
The core of the story is character arc, not just plot.
Define the protagonist’s lie/error belief (at the start) and truth/new belief (at the end).
Identify traumas or fears driving their decisions, and what they “want” vs. what they “need.”
Design minor arcs for 3-5 main supporting characters.
Step 3: Worldbuilding (Days 5-6)
We’re building a stage, not an encyclopedia. Only develop the parts necessary for the story.
Use AI for field research (e.g., neighborhood atmosphere of a city, specific house layouts).
Distinguish “core settings” (must be decided now) from “flexible details” (can be added later).
Step 4: Outline (Days 7-10)
Choose a story structure framework (e.g., three-act, hero’s journey).
Embed your story concept and character arcs into this structure.
Create a high-level beat sheet or chapter summaries (about 500 words per chapter), clarifying what happens, from whose perspective, and emotional shifts.
Step 5: Generate the main text (Days 11-17)
This is where AI shines. Aim for 60,000-80k words (about 10k words per day).
Key principle: handle only one chapter at a time. Don’t let AI write the whole book at once, or it will be a mess.
You are the guide. Offer options (e.g., three different endings for this chapter), and approve or tweak them.
Write and revise simultaneously: quickly read through, cut obvious coherence errors, and mark uncertain parts for the next round.
Step 6: Refinement (Days 18-20)
Turn the AI-assisted draft into a polished, book-like work.
Use tools (like AutoCrit) or automated workflows to specifically target AI writing flaws:
AI clichés (e.g., “testament to”).
Repetitive phrases.
Overly formal tone.
Clichés.
Optimize flow: split long sentences, change sentence structures.
Step 7: Formatting (Day 21)
Format the manuscript for publication.
Step 8: Publishing (Day 22)
Upload to platforms (like Amazon KDP).
Most people’s problem isn’t lack of time, but prioritization. This system breaks big tasks into daily focused blocks of 1-1.5 hours, forcing you to maintain momentum. Once you stop, restarting becomes exponentially harder. As long as you show up every day, you can surpass 99% of authors who only dream but never act.
