How are y'all keeping your AI from going wild on a book's progression through time? Sometimes I'll find that it writes five chapters and they all seem to have been forced into the same day, even though there are references to it being a different day, yet still the original first day, etc. It's hard to explain. I get this with Claude the most. He really doesn't have a concept of time. So with my latest book I told the AI to plan for the progression of time in the outline itself, and that seemed to help. Just wondering how y'all do it, especially those of you who claim you don't even read every one of your books. This issue with time progression and getting it screwed up is one of the biggest things preventing me from being able to edit faster. I try to ask Antigravity to go through the book and fix the issues with time, but it doesn't work as well as I need it to...in fact, it wasn't that successful at all when I tried it, to be honest...

I wrote a book with Antigravity this afternoon and it went well. But it was a slow process, because it kept stopping after every chapter to ask me to review its work. And it kept failing to meet the word count requirement of at least 2500 words per chapter. So I kept having to tell it to try again. Which it did, and it always succeeded on the second try. But I thought y'all were writing 80,000 word books in ten minutes with this thing. Or am I misunderstanding what it's for? I did get my 50,000 word book completed today, but I just confused if there is a trick to Antigravity that I just haven't figured out yet. I am going to edit with it tomorrow, because that is where I believe it will truly shine.

2026 is my year of trying to streamline my processes. I am trying to get faster at producing my cozy romance books from idea to publishing. Currently it is taking me about 30 hours to complete a book. Yes, I know I'm slower than most but I need to learn to automate better and I always get hung up on the editing (a very unpleasant task) and book covers (but I'm working on improving all of this). I am keen to learn how long it is taking others on average. What's achievable? It will inspire me to improve my practice this year! 🙂

Thinking About the Antigravity Class? Here’s the Deal 🙂 If you’re already using AI to write, you’ve probably hit the annoying part by now. You know the tools work… but you’re still: Re-feeding context Fixing continuity slips Watching the AI forget things it just knew Doing way more cleanup than you should be That’s not you. That’s the chat-based workflow showing its limits. What This Class Actually Covers This isn’t a craft class and it’s not “AI 101.” This is about upgrading how you work with AI when you’re writing a series, a shared universe, or anything bigger than a single short story. We use Antigravity, a technical editor built for large projects, and repurpose it for fiction. Why? Because a book series behaves like a system: - Characters function like variables - World rules are constraints - Lore is a living reference set Antigravity lets AI read your files first—so it writes with your series instead of guessing. The Easy AF Part (For Real) No coding. No programming background needed. Everything is file-based and human-readable. You open a folder, the AI reads your “bible” files automatically, and you give clear commands instead of chatting. That’s it. What Happens in the Live Workshop In the Antigravity workshop, we’ll build your Series Engine together: - You’ll get my exact Series Starter Kit (folder structure included) - We’ll set everything up step by step - You’ll be able to step away and write your first book No prep required. No homework beforehand. We will also have a brief bonus session (date TBD) when I will show you how to continue your EXISTING series! Honestly - if you are ready to step up from Claude but you still like that style of writing - this will blow your mind once you figure out how easy it CAN be. Class is LIVE in the Classroom! (ok this GIF is cracking me up)

5 books done - they are shorter 15-20k meant for rapid read & release. Books 6-10 are being planned….. I just didn’t feel like it today 😉 Claude caught something I missed (switched states somewhere along the line) Antigravity was able to look at all the books and fix any references etc and change it back to where it is supposed to be. This has huge potential I haven’t had with Claude or even Novelcrafter. More to come as I figure out more
