4 CHAPTERS EDITED WITH AI! Instalove Romance Writing a Happily Ever After with Raptor Write

Introduction

Good morning everyone! Welcome to another exciting Saturday where we dive into the world of writing and editing. Today we’re gearing up for a productive session where I aim to edit four chapters of my instalove romance book, using the power of AI and Raptor Write along the way.

A Bit of Background

This session is especially fueled by my trusty, albeit faded, coffee cup from a previous PublishDrive event. For those unfamiliar, PublishDrive is a great aggregator for authors, allowing us to distribute books widely for a flat fee rather than a percentage of sales. This can be quite beneficial for high-earning authors who want to maximize their profits.

Also, it’s worth mentioning that yesterday was quite the whirlwind, as I managed to draft an astounding 27,000 words! However, between meetings and teaching, I didn’t have a chance to look over any of that. Today, I aim to edit some of the draft and refine my two recent books that are now ready for editing after two weeks of writing.

What’s on the Agenda?

Today, I plan to employ some AI assistance to help speed up the editing process. Here’s how we’ll tackle the workload:

Manual Edits on Chapter 10: I’ll start by manually reviewing and editing Chapter 10 to tailor the content to my voice and preferences.
AI-Assisted Edits on Chapter 11: For Chapter 11, I’ll let the AI analyze the chapter in accordance with the outline and suggest edits.
Thorough Report for Chapters 12-16: For chapters 12 through 16, I’ll use AI to generate an editing report that ensures plot cohesion, writing style consistency, and character interaction depth.

In the first phase, I dove directly into editing Chapter 10, adjusting parts of the dialogue and narrative flow to better fit the tone of the book. Keeping track of how many words each chapter has was crucial, as I aim for a specific word count per chapter.

Based on the feedback and edits I made, I was able to expand the chapter from 1,421 words to 2,290 words. This iterative process makes sure it’s cohesive while maintaining the passionate and romantic tone of the story.

Next Steps!

Once I was happy with Chapter 10, I shifted gears to Chapter 11 by using my AI editor. The AI analyzed both the outline of the book and the content drafted so far, generating a thorough list of edits to ensure plot consistency and characterization. The insights provided were valuable and helped me enhance the narrative, resulting in a more engaging and sophisticated chapter.

As I was mid-session, I noted that my manual editing process took about 20 minutes for Chapter 10, while the AI-assisted work naturally flowed and offered logical adjustments for Chapter 11. These edits were instrumental in not just refining dialogue but also in amplifying character interactions.

I then turned my focus to Chapters 12 and 13. The AI took on a more significant role here as I wanted detailed feedback on their narrative arcs. These chapters are pivotal since key character relationships are developed, and I needed to maintain consistency in the storytelling.

While the editing proved to be time-consuming, spending the first half of the session to make substantial strides in the direction of publishing was clearly worthwhile. By the end of the session, I had edited four chapters effectively and was set to dive back into the remaining chapters over the next week.

Conclusion

This editing session with the help of AI has been nothing short of illuminating. Using Raptor Write not only increases efficiency but also enhances the quality of my work. I’m excited to see where this journey will take my instalove romance story as I continue to amplify each character's development and dial up the romantic tension.

Thank you for joining this editing adventure today! Now, let’s keep the creative juices flowing as we prepare for another productive session next week!
