Your core structure is mapped out, from the opening scene through your bridge scenes and into your major set pieces. So it’s time to write the final draft. Do not try to write the entire chapter at once.

1.   Read your new sequence of events from the opening scene, through the transitions and into the next key scene, so the entire flow is fresh in your mind.

2.   Paste the first block of your narrative into your AI and ask it to expand it into prose, one paragraph at a time.

3.   Be a strict editor. If the AI writes dialogue that sounds too formal, tell it to make it grittier. If an action sequence feels flat, ask it to focus on the sensory details, like the smell of copper or the sound of shattering glass.

4.   Go back and forth with the AI to refine the quality of the writing, the realism of the dialogue and the visceral impact of the action, until that specific paragraph is perfect.

5.   The Approval Loop: Before you move on to generating the next paragraph, run through this quick checklist:

•   Does the dialogue sound natural and specific to the character(s)?

•   Are the sensory details clear and grounded?

•   Does this paragraph actively push the plot or the emotional arc forward?

•   Is the tone aligning with your narrative?

6.   Once the paragraph passes the checklist, lock it into your master document and repeat the process.
