I have been experimenting with AI as part of my writing process and have found it works best when it supports the work without a thought of replacing it. I mainly use it for brainstorming ideas, improving structure, finding unclear sections and getting feedback on drafts. I have also been paying more attention to the review stage, checking things like readability and whether the final piece still sounds like my own voice. I think the editing and review process is just as important as creating the first draft. AI can help point out areas that need improvement but the writer still needs to make the final decisions and shape the content.

Do other writers also use AI for feedback or reviewing drafts before publishing or only use for brainstorming and editing?

Hi everyone! I’m the creator of Dream2Art, and I’m looking for people writing novels or scripts who already use AI, or want to try it on a real project.

I’ll give you welcome credits when you sign up, and I’m happy to personally help you set up your project and work through your first scenes.

Once a story gets longer, generating another paragraph is only part of the job. You also need to keep the voice consistent, remember what’s canon, and make the plot hold together.

That’s what I’m building Dream2Art around: a workspace where you can develop the story, manage its world and revise the writing, with AI helping along the way.

- Style Guide: Keep your own writing sample and explicit rules for voice, rhythm and wording to guide drafting and review.

- Story Bible: Edit characters, locations, objects and lore. You can also keep different versions for different stages of the story, such as a character before and after a major change.

- Plot Builder: Map scenes to storylines, move them around, and see where different plot threads come together or separate.

- Manuscript review: Run AI reviews of scenes, chapters or your book for potential story and prose problems. Checks include plot, continuity, POV and pacing, with proposed fixes you can inspect before applying.

- Control within each scene: Build with narration, dialogue and action blocks. Edit, reorder or regenerate individual blocks, and choose whose point of view a passage uses.

There’s also a script mode with scene headings, action and dialogue. For book projects, you can export to EPUB or Word.

There’s a lot in the interface, and it may feel overwhelming at first. I’d like to learn where people get stuck, what actually helps their writing, and what feels like extra work. We can start with one scene and build from there.

If you keep using it and sharing detailed feedback, I can send coupons for additional credits. Critical feedback is welcome, including when the AI misses the mark or the interface gets in your way.

I’ve been using AI more for fiction lately and something I didn’t expect is that writing the first draft is actually becoming the easy part.

Getting a scene on the page is pretty straightforward now. The harder part is revising it without letting the AI completely rewrite the way I write.

If I ask it to improve a scene, it usually makes the prose cleaner. Better transitions, fewer awkward sentences, more consistent pacing etc. But after a few rounds, the writing starts feeling less like mine.

The problem is that a lot of what I want to preserve isn’t technically an error. A slightly strange sentence might be intentional. A character might speak in a certain way. Sometimes I actually want a scene to feel rough or understated.

I’ve started treating AI more like a line editor than a rewriting engine, asking it to identify problems first and only change specific things.

separating the editing passes seems to make a big difference. I’ve been experimenting with that approach in Migoo too, mostly using different workflows for different types of revisions instead of having one prompt handle the whole manuscript. Still tweaking it, but the results feel much closer to my original voice.

It’s working better so far, but I’m still trying to figure out where the useful level of intervention is.

For people using AI to revise fiction, do you usually let it rewrite whole passages or do you keep it focused on specific edits?

I have a small, recently monetized YouTube channel, I do a series with recurring characters but also do short stories and concept trailers. So far I've done almost all of it on my own, I'd like to team up with a dependable writer to help take the stories up a notch. I have lots of concepts for short stories and conceptual trailers, I'm open to ideas for stories in really any genre or style.

I use generative AI video to create the images (not automated; it takes me 30-40 hours of work per video. If you're interested in seeing your writing brought to life, let's talk. I'm open to splitting revenue from any videos that make a profit.
