The 3 prompts for generating a novel
// Prompt 1:
Can you tell me a story about an adventurer named Donji, and his adventures to find a dragon friend (whose name will be fizz) and rescue the princess with his trusty glass sword and beginner computer programming skills. My goal for the story is to go to sleep. This story should have named chapters.
But before you tell me a story, I want you to make a 20 chapter outline with chapter titles. And don’t tell me the story until I tell you to.
The format should be like this:
Chapter X: Title
***************************************************************************
// Prompt 2:
Then give me the story of Chapter 1 from the list below. The end of this chapter should set up the start of the next chapter, chapter 2, but don’t include anything that could be from that chapter.
It should be in 10 pages and focus on telling long sentences about the small parts of that chapter the little happenings, and do not give away anything that would be relevant to the later chapters, only foreshadow things that could possibly happen in the later chapters.
Do not tell the ending of the story or try to wrap up the story. Every story should end with out completing the narrative. The focus should be more on describing the visuals of the scene than progressing the storyline.
At the end of the chapter, give stats where you list the details of where the characters are, all characters mentioned, and time of day.
Then end with 4 blank lines with just a period
The format of the story should be as so:
Chapter [chapter number]: [chapter title]
[story text]
End stats:
[location at end of story]
[all characters mentioned]
