Step 3: Get better results

• Use the “Character” feature by clicking on the “Characters” tab on the left sidebar. Here, you can create character profiles to help ensure consistency in your writing.
• To enhance sensory details, highlight a section of your text, and click on the “Sensory” option. This will prompt Sudowrite to add descriptions that appeal to the five senses.

Pro tip

Instead of generating text in small chunks, try writing a full paragraph and then using the “Continue” feature. This can lead to more coherent and contextually relevant suggestions.

Common mistake to avoid

One common mistake is not taking advantage of the character profiles. Failing to create or refer to these profiles can lead to inconsistencies in your characters and story, making it harder for readers to connect with your narrative.
