AI Doesn’t Have to Be a God in a Server Rack
I’ve been annoyed by the state AI is in for a while now. Many things seem wrong to me, and I’ll try to sort my thoughts here before I explain what I’m doing in the space right now. This posting here will start a series of posts about a topic I’m calling “Ninereeds / BDH…
Writingway 1+2 Updates
I didn’t look at Writingway for a long time now, after getting it into the shape I wanted. While I had some things in the back of my head, I was busy with other things and didn’t even look at the repos (Issues, PRs) on Github anymore. Yeah, that’s not what you should do if…
So what am I currently up to?
The last project I was working on was Control Room, a complete environment for novel creation end-to-end: from initial idea to final draft, utilising a team of agents that form a writing team. Basically, a writer’s room simulation as an application. So, where is it, then? The program is in an advanced state, and the…
Control Room: Design Philosophy
Managing a complex creative project often feels like wrestling with chaos. We juggle sprawling plotlines, intricate character arcs, and waves of feedback, all while our digital tools, a fragmented ecosystem of documents, chat apps, and task managers, add to the cognitive load rather than alleviating it. But what if we designed our tools not just…
Writing Apps, AI, and the Future of Creative Tools
Writing has never been easier. We can dictate novels into phones, collaborate across continents, edit anywhere. And yet most aspiring writers never finish a book. Few write a second. Why? Because technology solved the wrong problems. We got spell-check and cloud sync, but the hard parts—staying disciplined, keeping the story straight in your head, the…
Writingway 2 – Now Plug-and-Play
Writingway 2: What’s different? So if you’ve been following my AI writing stuff, you know I’ve been making tools for writers. The first Writingway worked great, but getting it set up was a pain in the ass if you weren’t super tech-savvy. That’s why I’m stoked to finally show you Writingway 2: It’s basically a…
Writingway, another update
First things first:- To install the program, unpack it into any directory and execute setup_writingway.bat- To start it after installation, execute start.bat You only need to set it up once. The setup creates a virtual environment that installs everything the program needs to run. Writingway now has a new options menu and a text analysis…
Writingway, updated
Writingway got a number of updates since I last posted about it here, so I figured I’d write a completely new post about it. It’s noteworthy that Writingway is a work in progress, will get updates every so often, so it’s worth it to check for updates from time to time. There are features I’d…
How do I install Writingway?
Okay, it seems downloading and using a Python file isn’t quite as straightforward for many as I thought. So why not go about it step by step? First things first, you need to download the file. You go to the repository and grab the file as shown in the screenshot: First, you open the file…
Writingway – If Scrivener had AI implementation
You might remember my last project, an attempt to write a program that assists authors when writing a book. It worked. It did the thing. But it wasn’t perfect, and I wanted a complete solution, one that includes a word processor, so I don’t need something like Scrivener to make it work. For some reason,…
