Hello everyone! Been a part of the community since Nov/Dec last year. First time posting so please be gentle and hopefully supportive! :-) I have purchased a few Codex's from Dana and I grabbed 4 this weekend (between server crashes!) and I am wanting to know the best way to do. I have used Claude Sonnet 4.5 with the codex files in a project. I also do have Novelcrafter as well. I am able to get a first draft of a novel done. However, then when it comes to editing I get so lost in the weeds!! I find that Chat and Claude will suggest edits. I tell them to do them and then it seems to get better. I then read and listen to the book and there are things that are off...like timelines, and remembering what happened previously. I have a romcom that they are talking on the phone, she finds out he is a school teacher in one chapter, then finds it out again in 2 or 3 chapters after that. Seems like most of the story is her just learning he is a teacher and I am like yelling at my computer, YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY. So then I hope maybe Novelcrafter will help with the "rereading 650 words of the previous chapter". I have 2 drafts and I ask Chat and Claude which one wins...it picks the one with the constant learning issue. UGH. I purcahsed Dana's NC course and did watch it. During it, she mentioned that she takes it a chapter at a time and doesn't do much if any editing...i was like HOW!! Is there anyone with some magic prompts or a easy to follow process. I have a handful of purchased Codex's and I would like to get these written and ready to publish quicker. I may just watch the NC course again from Jan but I am feeling like I am spinning my wheels here!

So I actually bought my first covers - someone in either here or FB no clue told me to look at this group so here it is: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1KXCZ3o9bs/?mibextid=wwXIfr And here are the covers I got. For my ideas - these work perfect

Yesterday I got an idea in my head for a series. I brainstorm with chat - and we come up with 5 books for the series - all the basics and I took it over into Antigravity today to write. But I like to see the covers of what I'm writing. I asked chat to make them in the same chat I was brainstorming in.

I know this varies for those who can rapid-release or multitask, but I realistically produce one book every 4–6 weeks. For those writing continuous series, how many books do you bank before letting yourself start something brand new? I’m currently on Book 3 of a planned 6-book run (interconnected standalones), but I’m getting squirrelly about a new idea. I’d love to hear how you handle this. Specifically if jumping between series worked for you or if it killed your momentum.

Ok y’all might not see this as exciting - but this means I’m set up for Thursday & beyond Interesting thing is I loaded AG up on my desktop and projects do NOT automatically come over….
