This is so great, thank you for your contribution!
How are your voice changing experiments going? Itd be interesing to see if you can generate sections of text in different writing styles.
I haven’t trained any new models. Was working on creating a data set with a bunch of papers on consciousness in AI, DMT, and LLMs.
Almost all of the papers are PDFs with multiple columns. The simple cloud pdf to txt sites read contents from both columns as one line. Next I found the Adobe API, which seems very powerful. There I ran into a weird module error, and have not been able to translate the pdfs into useable txt yet.
I really want to get the pdf to txt pipeline working because I think that will be one of the richest sources of material. What I have used so far has been off Gutenberg, which has limited options.
Not sure what the best way of training would be, I’m thinking of going very micro with one word prompt:response, will start a new thread on that.
Have spent a few nights manually generating creative writing content to guide an eventual automation process. Very excited to see some tools already in place!
Intetesting.
Im finding text002 is better than anything i can train right now.
Im wondering if novelisation is the way to go…
Movie scripts are a very efficient way of telling a detailled story, so maybe gpt3 can write a script then turn that into prose scene by scene.
That separates storytelling from writing style and may make the job easier for gpt3.
What do you think?
When I’m “freestyling” on a small amount of content, I find that text002 creates responses that are a bit too “constrained”. So if I want to add some creative language dimension to a paragraph, I’ll use one of the fine-tunned models.
Definitely like the idea of creating a movie script as I find that text002 does really well when given a lot of content and context to work with.
One thing I’m trying to keep in mind is that compute resources are precious. I see no point in generating something that I myself would not care to read. For that reason, I like to be closely guiding the model, and updating my own neural network on the optimal ways to interact with the model.

I’m using your scripts now, fantastic work! Very clean code as well, thank you.
Thanks. I’m no coder. I’ve been using gpt3 to write a lot of the code!

I trained GPT3 on few classical books.
One of them is “hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy”.
It generates funny text sometimes. But it’s more like idea generator.
So you click 100 times for random text and pick up manually some funny ideas.
It definitely doesn’t suite for write the whole story.

Sounds interesting. What was the size of your training data and how did you format it?
I just took the whole book.
And split it as 1 sentence as an input and 3 followings sentences as an output.
Stupidly simple and maybe not effective at some point )

sir, I am getting the following error in 3Break down synopsis or scene into list.py
File “c:\Users\hanle\git\Creative-Writers-Toolkit\3Break down synopsis or scene into list.py”, line 112, in
scriptprompt= prompt8.replace(’<>’, completion7).replace(’<>’,breakdownexample).replace(’<>’,extrainfo).replace(’<>’,numberofscenes)
NameError: name ‘extrainfo’ is not defined
Any thoughts?
Try putting
extrainfo=""
As line 78
It looks like youre doing a scene breakdown without adding any ectra background files - which ought to work fine but i hadnt tested it that way
How are you getting on with it? Any interesting characters and stories?

by the way, the version I’m working on now replaces SCENE001.TXT files with SCENE0001.TXT files (so you can work on projects with more than 100 scenes). This means you’ll have to rename your SCENE files with an extra leading zero when I put the new version up. sorry.

I think you mean line 88, which already has that line of code in it. Maybe a “try except” statement might fix it…I tried one but didn’t get that to work.
My story is called “The Great Slowdown” and is about collapsing supply chains and contraction of the energy supply. It is set in the suburbs and follows a family’s journey. There are also elements of consciousness, aliens, self work, sci-fi, and sustainability/permaculture.
Have developed a few characters so far.
Really great tool, I’m impressed!
Try putting that line where i suggested - ie before the if statememt. Thar way it makes sure the variable is always defined as a string before its used.

Sorry! That makes complete sense and works perfectly. Thank you!!!
ok - the new version of my writer’s tools is up on github - including a new ability to turn any character into a chatbot - so you can have live conversations with the fictional people you create.
I’ve also uploaded a bit of a tutorial - please, like, subscribe, and comment - I really want others to get involved with this project with ideas and code…

here’s the next part… How to create synopses and turn them into scene plans.
Hello, Christian.
This is an old curious cat (almost 66 years on the road), born in the Netherlands, raised in Brazil and living now in Uruguay. I started studying Python a couple of years ago and now am diving into OpenAI.
A former editor and occasional writer, I installed your kit this week and its use sounds very promising (I made some tests).
I will keep you posted.
Congratulations and thanks,
Jerome
