00:00:02.410 --> 00:00:03.460
Welcome to bookmoth.

00:00:03.470 --> 00:00:05.280
A place to focus on your writing, shape

00:00:05.290 --> 00:00:06.800
your book, and see the whole thing more

00:00:06.810 --> 00:00:09.380
clearly. Your writing profile puts your voice at

00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:11.470
the centre of any AI drafting or revision.

00:00:11.810 --> 00:00:13.680
Use that support as much or as little

00:00:13.690 --> 00:00:14.570
as it helps.

00:00:14.890 --> 00:00:16.270
You are always holding the reins.

00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:17.750
Here is the workspace.

00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:20.260
Manuscript is the page, with Chapters on the

00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:22.170
left and the Editor on the right.

00:00:22.450 --> 00:00:24.360
Open either panel when it is useful, or

00:00:24.370 --> 00:00:26.090
enter Focus to clear the space.

00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:27.780
Plan gives you the chapter structure and the

00:00:27.790 --> 00:00:28.800
scenes inside it.

00:00:28.810 --> 00:00:30.820
Brief holds the direction of the book, alongside

00:00:30.830 --> 00:00:32.630
your writing examples and profile.

00:00:32.810 --> 00:00:36.080
Codex keeps your characters, places, relationships and story

00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:38.600
details connected. The chapters that follow take each

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:39.630
part a little further.

00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:41.440
Watch from the start, or jump to the

00:00:41.450 --> 00:00:42.350
section you need.

00:00:46.023 --> 00:00:47.703
Start with pages that sound like you.

00:00:48.143 --> 00:00:50.003
Open Brief, then Writing examples.

00:00:50.463 --> 00:00:52.353
Paste an extract, give it a name and

00:00:52.363 --> 00:00:53.483
choose Save Extract.

00:00:53.663 --> 00:00:55.463
You can also upload a file here too.

00:00:55.503 --> 00:00:57.233
Use writing you trust, with a mix of

00:00:57.243 --> 00:00:58.243
description and dialogue.

00:00:58.303 --> 00:01:00.473
Back in Brief, choose Analyse.

00:01:00.483 --> 00:01:02.383
When it's ready, open your Writing Profile.

00:01:02.483 --> 00:01:04.543
Read what bookmoth has noticed about your sentences,

00:01:04.943 --> 00:01:06.863
dialogue and the way you handle a scene.

00:01:07.463 --> 00:01:09.173
Treat it as a working description, not a

00:01:09.183 --> 00:01:11.933
verdict. Choose Edit and correct anything that misses

00:01:11.943 --> 00:01:14.353
the mark. Here I'm making the instruction about

00:01:14.363 --> 00:01:15.923
physical detail more specific.

00:01:16.043 --> 00:01:17.723
Close the profile to keep the change.

00:01:18.723 --> 00:01:22.173
Those instructions guide AI drafting and revision whenever

00:01:22.183 --> 00:01:23.283
you choose to use them.

00:01:27.090 --> 00:01:29.110
A brief gives your ideas a useful shape,

00:01:29.290 --> 00:01:30.510
wherever you are in the book.

00:01:31.370 --> 00:01:32.900
Open Brief and put down the idea you

00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:34.560
have, even if it starts as a couple

00:01:34.570 --> 00:01:36.700
of sentences. Open the editor and ask it

00:01:36.710 --> 00:01:38.170
to help you explore what matters.

00:01:38.330 --> 00:01:39.770
Here I'm asking about Alan:

00:01:39.990 --> 00:01:41.440
what changes for him, and what the reader

00:01:41.450 --> 00:01:42.410
should feel.

00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:45.480
Answer the questions with the direction you want

00:01:45.490 --> 00:01:47.580
to pursue. When the editor proposes a working

00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:49.730
brief, read it before choosing Apply.

00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:52.620
And it brings the premise, characters, emotional movement

00:01:52.630 --> 00:01:53.970
and tone into one place.

00:01:54.030 --> 00:01:55.980
Refine the wording in Brief, or keep the

00:01:55.990 --> 00:01:57.550
conversation going to build it.

00:01:57.590 --> 00:01:59.630
Use that direction to explore a chapter plan,

00:01:59.750 --> 00:02:01.630
then revisit it as the book develops.

00:02:02.110 --> 00:02:04.180
The editor helps you see the possibilities, and

00:02:04.190 --> 00:02:05.750
the decisions stay with you.

00:02:09.690 --> 00:02:10.980
The Plan gives you two views of the

00:02:10.990 --> 00:02:13.200
same story. Start in Chapters for the big

00:02:13.210 --> 00:02:15.510
picture. Open a chapter to refine its summary

00:02:15.770 --> 00:02:17.010
and what it needs to achieve.

00:02:17.030 --> 00:02:18.870
Work from the ideas already on the page,

00:02:19.190 --> 00:02:20.700
or use the brief to explore a different

00:02:20.710 --> 00:02:21.650
structure with AI.

00:02:21.750 --> 00:02:23.770
Switch to Scene view for the smaller movements.

00:02:24.150 --> 00:02:25.890
Expand a chapter and open a scene.

00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:27.820
You can give it a clear beat, a

00:02:27.830 --> 00:02:29.410
goal, a conflict or a turn.

00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:31.440
Here I'm sharpening what Alan wants from the

00:02:31.450 --> 00:02:31.930
encounter.

00:02:32.810 --> 00:02:34.480
Drag chapters or scenes when the order needs

00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:37.220
work. The manuscript follows the chapter order too.

00:02:37.230 --> 00:02:39.130
And use Undo if a move is wrong.

00:02:39.590 --> 00:02:41.740
Both views stay connected, helping you see the

00:02:41.750 --> 00:02:43.770
book more clearly as its shape changes.

00:02:47.517 --> 00:02:50.167
Open Codex to keep characters, places and story

00:02:50.177 --> 00:02:51.097
facts together.

00:02:51.837 --> 00:02:53.577
Select a character to open their details.

00:02:54.197 --> 00:02:56.007
The main Voice box describes how they narrate

00:02:56.017 --> 00:02:57.977
in chapters told from their point of view.

00:02:58.397 --> 00:03:00.747
In Character sheet, Voice holds example lines of

00:03:00.757 --> 00:03:02.397
dialogue, one per line.

00:03:02.477 --> 00:03:05.427
Those dialogue samples take priority over conflicting descriptions

00:03:05.437 --> 00:03:06.217
in your brief.

00:03:06.637 --> 00:03:09.087
Open Relationships, add a relation and choose the

00:03:09.097 --> 00:03:12.127
linked entry. The visibility menu decides whether AI

00:03:12.137 --> 00:03:15.157
reads an entry always, when mentioned, or never.

00:03:15.597 --> 00:03:18.477
To build from existing prose, choose Scan chapters,

00:03:18.677 --> 00:03:20.477
select the chapters and run the scan.

00:03:20.557 --> 00:03:21.557
Review the suggestions.

00:03:21.937 --> 00:03:24.997
Accept what fits, reject errors and resolve conflicts

00:03:25.017 --> 00:03:26.237
before they become facts.

00:03:26.517 --> 00:03:29.597
For LitRPG, switch on This book tracks stats

00:03:29.817 --> 00:03:30.937
in the Codex tools.

00:03:31.477 --> 00:03:33.757
Open a character's Stats and start a sheet.

00:03:34.337 --> 00:03:35.787
Set a value at the chapter where it

00:03:35.797 --> 00:03:37.907
changes, then use Progress to see how it

00:03:37.917 --> 00:03:40.567
develops. The Codex keeps the book's details visible

00:03:40.577 --> 00:03:42.267
and gives AI the context you choose to

00:03:42.277 --> 00:03:42.757
share.

00:03:46.410 --> 00:03:48.840
The manuscript editor works beside the chapter, with

00:03:48.850 --> 00:03:50.270
the surrounding prose in view.

00:03:50.370 --> 00:03:52.330
Open Editor and ask a specific question:

00:03:52.450 --> 00:03:53.970
where does this opening feel slow?

00:03:54.130 --> 00:03:55.680
Use the response as a second opinion on

00:03:55.690 --> 00:03:57.880
the passage. Select a sentence to focus the

00:03:57.890 --> 00:04:00.980
conversation. The selection appears above the chat, showing

00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:02.270
exactly what you are discussing.

00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:04.910
To explore different wording, choose Rewrite this.

00:04:04.990 --> 00:04:07.740
Add an instruction, generate a proposal and compare

00:04:07.750 --> 00:04:08.650
it with the original.

00:04:08.810 --> 00:04:10.900
Here I'm tightening a long sentence while keeping

00:04:10.910 --> 00:04:12.070
its physical details.

00:04:12.090 --> 00:04:14.050
Choose Keep if that version serves the scene,

00:04:14.130 --> 00:04:15.850
or close it and continue exploring.

00:04:16.210 --> 00:04:18.240
The version menu brings earlier drafts back into

00:04:18.250 --> 00:04:21.160
view. A conversation, a comparison or a focused

00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:23.600
revision: bring in the support that helps, and

00:04:23.610 --> 00:04:24.930
decide what belongs in the book.

00:04:28.543 --> 00:04:30.753
bookmoth fits around your book, from an early

00:04:30.763 --> 00:04:32.183
idea to a full manuscript.

00:04:32.563 --> 00:04:33.523
Start with the page.

00:04:33.703 --> 00:04:36.373
Close Chapters and Editor, enter Focus, and stay

00:04:36.383 --> 00:04:37.203
with the writing.

00:04:38.903 --> 00:04:41.373
For a wider view, open Plan to see

00:04:41.383 --> 00:04:43.433
the structure and Codex to keep people and

00:04:43.443 --> 00:04:44.703
story details connected.

00:04:45.143 --> 00:04:46.673
Bring the editor in for a question about

00:04:46.683 --> 00:04:48.463
pacing, clarity or continuity.

00:04:49.103 --> 00:04:50.793
Use its response to decide what the passage

00:04:50.803 --> 00:04:51.283
needs.

00:04:51.903 --> 00:04:54.053
AI drafting can help test a different pace

00:04:54.063 --> 00:04:55.243
or structure, too.

00:04:55.503 --> 00:04:58.063
Keep earlier versions and compare the possibilities.

00:04:58.463 --> 00:05:01.193
A second opinion, a passage to explore, or

00:05:01.203 --> 00:05:02.203
a full draft:

00:05:02.463 --> 00:05:04.173
use as much or as little AI as

00:05:04.183 --> 00:05:06.263
helps. You are always holding the reins.

00:05:06.623 --> 00:05:08.143
Export when you're ready to share.
