Things I wrote about the tools I’m using/was using:
- Sudowrite Tips and Tricks
- My first days with Sudowrite (June 2021 – October 2021)
- FAQs After ChatGPT Exploded on to the scene. (And information on interview requests.) February 1, 2023
Tools I have used but no longer use:
- Quillbot – to rephrase sentences. (Stopped using in favor of ChatGPT and Claude rewrites.)
- Chatbase.co –
“Just upload a pdf or add a link to your website and get a ChatGPT-like chatbot that can answer any question on it.” I use this to talk to my previously written books with ChatGPT – it’s easier than scouring for “that scene with that thing.”(Not quite there yet. Stopped using it altogether until the technology moves ahead a bit.)
Tools I currently use:
- Sudowrite – for fiction writing and narrative prose. (Stopped using in favor of Claude.) (Started using again just for the Describe button. I do love the Describe button.)
- Anthropic’s Claude – for fiction writing and narrative prose.
- ChatGPT+ and OpenAI Playground – for marketing blurbs, plots, mystery generation, and some rewriting/editing.
- LitRPG Adventures – for fantasy locations and characters
