Sudowrite

Invest in your Story Bible before drafting: fill in genre, characters, world rules, synopsis, and outline - this is "the brain" that keeps Sudowrite coherent across your novel

Feed Sudowrite 500-1,000 words of your best finished prose to teach it your voice, and update the style sample if your voice for this book is distinct

Keep creativity settings around 70-80% for surprising but usable ideas, and lower it when a scene must follow specific beats

Use Brainstorm, Twist, Character, and Worldbuilding tools to explore possibilities before drafting - capture what resonates, discard the rest

Draft in your own words first, then extend with Write or Guided Write in small chunks, immediately pruning and revising to stay on-tone

Use Describe as a brainstorming tool: highlight bland lines like "The room was dark" to get sensory-rich options, but pick only phrases that fit your style

Do your own first line edit before AI - then use targeted Rewrite modes like "Show don't tell" or "Shorter" only on specific weak passages
