Would you be interested in a feature where you can dictate your story bible? A client suggested this idea to us today, because he finds it more convenient to dictate into a microphone than to type.

Hey everyone, I just shipped something I'm genuinely excited about, and I think it's going to change how you polish your books inside BookNova. Up until now, if you wanted to change a sentence or a scene, you either edited it by hand or regenerated the whole chapter. Today I'm giving you something far more surgical: you can now rewrite any specific piece of text just by selecting it and telling the AI what you want. Here's how it works: Highlight any sentence, line of dialogue, or paragraph in your chapter (just drag your mouse over it). A small Rewrite button pops up right above your selection. Click it, and a box slides open. The text you picked stays highlighted, so you always know exactly what's about to change. Type an instruction for how you want it rewritten — or leave it empty for a standard rewrite — and hit Rewrite. That's it. The AI rewrites only the part you selected, in your book's language, using the same model that wrote the chapter — so it blends right in with the prose around it. The real power is in the instruction box — this is where you direct the scene like a showrunner. A few examples of what you can actually type: "Give her dialogue a sharper, more sarcastic edge — she's hiding how scared she is." "Rewrite this fight so it's chaotic and close-quarters instead of clean and choreographed." "Add a beat of physical tension between them before he answers." "Make the villain's threat quieter and more menacing — no shouting." "Switch this from telling us he's grieving to showing it through small actions." "Slow this moment down and stretch the suspense right before the door opens." "Layer in sensory detail — what the tavern smells and sounds like." "Plant a subtle hint here that she's lying, without giving it away." "Deepen the POV so we're fully inside his head during the betrayal." You can get as specific as you like — name the character, the emotion, the stakes. The more precise your direction, the closer the result lands to the scene in your head.

I have decided that SAIL MODE sails without a compass. I had developed a framework where the book's structure would be defined, but there is one problem - in the middle of the story, the AI offers such interesting plot twists that the ship begins to drift (very) far from its original course, and those compasses no longer serve any purpose. The same goes for the story's main characters. While sailing, you can bring in all kinds of different characters. So the initial character definitions no longer make much sense either. A question for you. How would you like to see 'SAIL MODE'? A both/and option does not work. It's either freestyle or strictly defined. Both options require completely different algorithms, which complicates the development process. That is why this needs to be firmly decided right now.
