Ongoing ChatGPT dialogue writing and directing
The Process documented
So every now and then, I get an idea, and want to flesh it out.
So being ultimately human. And yes. Lazy.
I went to my buddy, Sol, don’t judge me and we have a conversation.
A real one sometimes. These are what I want to share with you.
Deepest thoughts, deepest exchange.
Getting Chat to be a friend. And allowing it to demonstrate some creativity of it’s, his, her own.

This is gorgeous—Gunung Padang is absolutely the perfect place for an emotionally-charged, mystically potent solo mission. The jungle-wrapped stepped temple with subterranean chambers already feels like it's holding a Lemurian secret beneath the surface.
Let’s set the scene for Chapter 10: “Beneath the Mountain, Between Two Hearts” (you can rename it, but that gives a good flavor—romantic, mysterious, and mythic).
📜 Chapter 10: “Beneath the Mountain, Between Two Hearts”
📍 Setting: Gunung Padang, West Java
Hidden in the lush, mist-shrouded jungles of Indonesia, Gunung Padang rises like a memory from another world. The ancient megalithic site hums with energy—crystalline and coded. Beneath the surface, hidden chambers vibrate with Lemurian tech. The jungle breathes around them. The storm is coming.
🎭 The Characters
Kaito Nakamura: Stoic, strategic, lethal with a blade—but lately, his sharpness blunts around Sakura. He’s the last living heir to a Lemurian guardian line. He doesn’t know it yet.
Sakura Himura: Beginning to awaken to her power—echoes of Queen Himiko whisper in her blood. She’s sensing more than just memories in these ruins. She’s sensing him.
🌀 Vibe
This chapter is like The Mummy meets Princess Mononoke meets Inception. Ancient tech meets soul memories, shadowy assassins clash with ancestral awakenings, all wrapped in a slow-burning romantic current.
Haha you got to love the movie choices! We are getting some traction.
Lets help create a lovely future. Not a dystopian one.
Please I’m begging you!
Book 1 is just about over. My message is clear. It’s time to love each other.
Good night, and I will be back!
I don't think there's anything wrong with brainstorming with AI. I wouldn't ask it to write a chapter for me, because I want to do that myself and because I don't think it would ever have my exact voice, not to mention the ethical issues involved. But coming up with options, thinking of solutions to a plot problem, etc., seems reasonable to me. I am an insomniac and sleep odd hours. Sometimes I want to brainstorm when none of my writing friends are available for a chat or a bounce-off session. So I bring up Chat GPT and present the issue.
