This is a complete plan for your book plus a set of ready-to-paste AI prompts — not the finished prose. Here's what every section is for and how to actually use it.
First, the thing that confuses everyone: "chapters" appear three times
The same chapters show up in three sections, at increasing depth — it's not three different lists:
- Structure — a one-line-per-chapter roadmap: each chapter's title, which story beat it serves, and a sentence of what happens. Read it to see the whole arc at a glance.
- Chapter Breakdowns — those same chapters, expanded into the specific scenes and beats that happen inside each one. Read a chapter's breakdown to know what it should contain.
- Writing Prompts — those same chapters again, each turned into a copy-paste instruction that already bundles that chapter's breakdown, your characters' voices, and a "story so far" recap. This is the part you paste into an AI to write the prose.
The drafting workflow
- Skim Premise and Structure so you know where the book is going.
- Go to Writing Prompts. Copy chapter 1's prompt, paste it into any AI chat (Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or your local model). The prompt tells the AI to draft the chapter one scene at a time, so it writes the first scene. Say "continue" and it writes the next, and so on to the end of the chapter. (This matters: no AI writes a whole long chapter well in a single reply — scene by scene keeps the prose sharp and stops it rushing the ending.)
- Drop the finished chapter into your manuscript, edit to taste, then repeat for chapter 2, 3, … in order. Paste one chapter's prompt at a time — never the whole bible; each prompt already carries the "story so far" recap and the voice sheets, which is what keeps everything consistent.
- If a chapter comes out wrong, re-read its Chapter Breakdown to see what it should contain, tweak the prompt (or hit Regenerate for that stage in the sidebar), and re-paste.
What the other sections are for
- Premise (logline / hook / central conflict) — your north star. Keep it in view; paste it in if the AI drifts off-concept.
- Worldbuilding (history / geography / cultures / factions / systems) — your consistency reference. When a chapter leans on world detail, paste the relevant part in as extra context; expand it yourself as the story grows.
- Characters (motivation / flaw / arc + a voice sheet each) — the voice sheets are already built into every chapter prompt, so dialogue stays in-character. Keep this open to check arcs and consistency, or to hand a character's voice sheet to the AI directly.
- KDP Metadata (keywords / categories / blurb / short description) — for when you publish on Amazon: drop the keywords into KDP's 7 keyword fields, use the suggested categories, and paste the blurb as your book description.
Tip
Treat all of this as a strong first draft of the plan. Rename characters, swap a trope, rewrite a beat — then draft from your edited version. Use Download .md / Word / Obsidian to keep it in whatever tool you write in.
