Great questions. The book came in at 55,000 words.

I've competed in Nanowrimo several years and could never hit the 50k word (200 pages) benchmark during the 30 days. This took me only ~3hrs a day, with a few longer sprints on weekends.

I updated the prompt every break and made edits. The book is ~90% GPT written, with edits, that will drop to ~70% by word count.

The interesting part for me was that the prompt needed to be updated frequently. I also would rewrite opening texts to cram in the scenes characters and context, so that it could be carried through.

That's so cool! Are there any services that allow you to train the GPT on own your knowledge repository.

For example, if you wanted to write a research report but want the GPT work off an information corpus that you created. For example, to write a current month's summary on Tesla, you want the GPT to use all articles you archived over the previous month.
