Most writers have started using AI as a digital assistant, but many barely scratch the surface because they rely on basic prompts. To truly refine your craft, you need to level up.
Narrative Engineering moves you beyond simply “typing text in a box.” By leveraging a dash of coding expertise and structured logic, you can stress-test your character’s viability before you even write a scene. Imagine chatting directly with your protagonist or eavesdropping as two characters interact—gaining insights that would normally take weeks to discover.
By using accessible tools like API access and Google Colab, you can make massive strides in your character development in record time. It’s efficient, it’s professional, and frankly, it’s a total blast.
Sneak Peek at what I’ve been working on: here is a snippet of the framework in action.
I’m using specific ‘instructions’ to hard-wire distinct character philosophies (using Keating and Pritchard from Dead Poets Society as test cases). This allows a writer to instantly see how different characters would clash or react to the exact same situation. It’s a massive time-saver for nailing down a character’s voice before a single page of the script is even written.
