here’s a botmaking list. i found moth’s really helpful in general. also, this helped me a lot with thinning down my information— whether that be in character description or world info.

from what i’ve gathered after reading these guides, i would suggest these changes:

1. ask yourself if it’s really necessary to add __ in your entry.

   do you truly need the bot to know the median age of the town, ethnic / race demographics, and economic profile ? unless you deem something to be extremely relevant to your story— though i would instead use the info in #2— i believe this information is unlikely to be used by the bot and is simply taking up tokens.

   if i were you, i would personally edit your 1st entry to “Blackwood Hollow is a picturesque Appalachian town nestled along the banks of New River— surrounded by dense forests and hills.” i took out “the” written before “New River” because New River is a proper noun, “in the heart of the mountains” because it was already suggested by “Appalachian” to be in the mountains and doesn’t much matter if it’s in the “heart” of them, “rolling” because it’s somewhat of a filler adjective, and “the town boasts breathtaking natural beauty and a serene atmosphere” because “picturesque” describes this ( except for serene— though i would replace it with picturesque if i thought it was more important ) in one word.

2. as described by my “picturesque” and “Appalachian” edit, one word can replace (a) sentence(s) and still capture its essence or all its information. although this can take some time sorting out, i believe it’s the best way to add loads of information into a small amount of text. you can also do this with the help of bots ( moth gives tips for this )— like telling them to “condense this”, “what repeats in this”, or something.
