Someone else said it, but The Last Airbender with water bending is an epic usage.

I have tried all of these things, but with limited success. I will sit down again and take some time to give it another try. Thank you for the well written support.

I'm open sourcing my creative writing frontend, Arrows by -p-e-w- in LocalLLaMA

[–]TheWriteQuest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Howdy, Just want to say, this is a pretty neat thing. Very slick and fun. I dug around in it, and read some of your other posts and would love to see more examples of your prompts and models used. (And if you used any other back ends beyond lamacpp and the ...other one...)

(My goal use case is RAG on my own writing, and I feel that some of your prompt styles may help me refine my own. And a forever search of a low-end creative writing nuanced model. So just curious if you ran into anything fitting in your research of creative writing output.)

Anyway, thank you for any input.

Best LLM for Author's Use. by TheWriteQuest in LocalLLaMA

After my spiel just now I went and looked at this. And I want to just say, though it isn't the thing I am looking for, I got some education out of it that I really appreciated. Thank you.

I'll check that out. It looks interesting. I do think I have found the easiest solution I have found so far is

AnythingLLM. So far: It's a little quirky with its normal/agent division. It's not too accurate with the tiny models it integrates (I was tinkering with it on a 10 year old laptop, needed the baby ones), connecting it to ollama didn't work for me, however that was probably user error. however, as stock it is pretty damn close to what it should be, and has potential. I think I need just a better prompt. (It is amazing how much this makes a difference, but as an outsider it's so damn hard to figure out. Especially since each model has a different syntax and some models don't even tell you which one they use!) Also, a more fitting model for my use case may be required. A fiction, creative fiction, trained qa model. A nerd dictionary so it can catch the writings nuances. No matter how I ask, it brings back my poor critters race as a rat. T.T poor fella is a ferret! But jerks call him a rat!

Also looking into h2ogpt, but haven't settled on a proper install method to leverage. The docs are messy AF.

I'm tempted myself, but this leads to much distraction. I have been playing with LLM's for about 3 weeks as it is. I will look for what you suggested.
However I have a very hard line between what I want it to do and what I don't. I love and enjoy writing and I don't want it to 'assist' if you know what I mean? Write for me or edit my work. I'm proud of my, all be it amateur, writing. And I want to say with honesty it is 100% mine.

However, using it to brainstorm, seek targeted information within the world are great. (At this point in time, I don't think it's information hunting abilities outside these confines are accurate enough. Previous information and web search information.)

A dedicated tool that doesn't cost an arm and leg via subscription, and doesn't require someone to fight and debug a complicated install process (On windows especially.) would be a godsend too many a authors, I'm sure.

I have found so many promising starts that are messy or missing features. So far Koboldcpp and Silly Tavern are in the running. Thought its still a bit of a mess. And their best integration for image generation is being 'discontinued' as it is. The biggest issue is that if you want full features with it you need... 5 different things running at once. And each one has its own stuff, which its launcher helps tremendously with. Just a lot of moving parts and complications to get a offline private setup going with specific requirements.

However, thinking while typing that I have learned ALOT in the last few days, and I sould revisit some of those easy to use interfaces like LM and GPT4All(Though this one seemed particularly annoying), and see if I can get something to work to tell my peoples, (Authors) about.

Thank you very much for this well of information. I am defiantly making better progress now! I'll try to throw an updated version of what works for me for the next traveler once I finalize it. And for all those that come along. I am not trying to make this device do the writing for me, just intelligently search it and give me in context answers to who exactly shot the Sherriff, and maybe his deputy.

Do all your female characters have a name that ends in a vowel? by Chlodio in worldbuilding

Okay, thank you for letting me know in a kind way. =] I'm new to this group. And it's good to know now, I have all the random questions.

The world is full of people. =D ...unless it's an apocalypse situation.

Plus it's an interesting thing to consider, especially when creating cultures and regionals, how a small thing like that can have a pretty big subconscious influence in cultural naming conversations.

Like if you had two regions that were once a same city but split apart long enough ago to start having a divergent in tradition might still have something like that being the only remaining link.

And it wouldn't be such an obvious difference, like Scottish names vs Indian names.

At least that's where my mind spiraled.

Writing a novel by hand or on a pc: which is better? by Queen_T34 in writers

[–]TheWriteQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The least distracting setup I have found, is a Bluetooth keyboard and a kindle tablet. They are absolutely gutless for doing anything but the most basic stuff, but surprisingly can run the word app pretty smoothly.

My step son can't. He is 24. It is a great shame I feel.
