Yup, I did. I stored all the snippets, character arcs, character analyses, outline, world building and eventually chapters in here and interacted with the AI to brainstorm and write/expand/improve the prose. I used AI at every stage of the process, and as much as people might rail against that, I found it made the whole process much more playful and enjoyable and frankly, the end result was much better too. I did have a human editor as well, but AI even helped with editing the novel. Like yourself, I am a big fan of the goal of making everything we do in life more playful and joyful. I think we do better when we’re in the flow state, and I try to maximise that by not self-censoring. I also try not to get attached to outcomes, but simply enjoying the work/process/learning for its own sake. It means you’re successful no matter what. Building as a celebratory get together with music and food sounds like a wonderful way to approach home building, and life!
