写第一篇短篇
用一个失物招领故事,走完从想法、提纲到正文和局部改稿的过程。下面的人物与请求是教学示例,你可以换成自己的故事。
1. 建好项目
在工作台首页选择“短篇小说”,先留空想法,点击“开始创作”。进入项目后,在顶部项目切换器中点击编辑名称,把项目改为“关窗之前”。
短篇项目初始有“人物”“构思”“素材”“正文”文件夹。先用人物和构思记录已确认内容,再写正文。
2. 讨论三场提纲
发送下面的请求:
我想写现实悬疑短篇《关窗之前》,用值班员林禾的有限视角。
车站失物招领窗口六点关闭,现在五点四十分。
沈敏来认领灰色帆布包,说对外观,却说错内袋物件。
林禾不能仅凭口头认领交包。
先给三个场景的提纲,每场列人物目标、阻力和局面变化。
沈敏为什么报错、包最后交给谁,都先列为待定。
只在对话中讨论,不写正文,不修改项目文件。
读完后选定原因和结局,告诉 AI 哪些建议采用。不要把未选方案一并写成事实。
3. 保存人物和提纲
你可以自己新建文件并粘贴内容,也可以让 AI 只创建这些文件:
| 文件夹与标题 | 类型 | 内容 |
|---|---|---|
| 人物 / 林禾 | 角色 | 职责、目标、知道与不知道什么 |
| 人物 / 沈敏 | 角色 | 已选背景与动机,待定问题单列 |
| 构思 / 三场景提纲 | 大纲 | 各场变化、停止点和最终选择 |
| 正文 / 第1场 认领 | 正文 | 这一场实际采用的叙事文字 |
标题与文件类型是两件事。正文用正文类型,人物和提纲分别用对应类型。
4. 起草第一场
保存人物与提纲,打开“第1场 认领”,发送:
先读取《林禾》《沈敏》《三场景提纲》。
只写《第1场 认领》,约600—900字,用林禾的有限视角。
通过动作与问答推进,写到沈敏说错内袋物件时停止。
不提前揭露原因,不解释沈敏的内心,不继续写第2场。
将正文写入当前文件,不创建同名副本。
打开文件检查写入结果:是否写到停止点,是否新增了你没接受的事实,段落是否连贯。篇幅是目标,最终采用哪些文字由你决定。
5. 改一个具体问题
假设正文写了“林禾知道她在撒谎”,但你想保留疑问。选中这句及必要上下文,点击“添加到对话”,再发送:
只改我引用的段落。林禾只知道描述不符,还不知道原因。
把对撒谎的断定改成可观察到的动作或追问,保留包未交付。
先给替换建议,不改其他场景或人物动机。
采用后检查前后衔接。出现差异审阅时,明确接受或拒绝各项,再完成审阅;没有拒绝的待审项会随完成操作采用。
6. 保存,再继续或导出
确认正文已保存,再用同样方法推进下一场:沿用已确认资料,指定本场变化和停止位置。完成后从项目顶部或手机菜单选择“导出正文”,打开下载的 TXT 检查场景顺序和结尾。
Write your first short story
Follow a lost-property story from premise and outline to prose and a local revision. The characters and requests are teaching examples; substitute your own story if you prefer.
1. Create the project
Choose Short Story on the workbench home, leave the idea empty, and select Start Writing. In the project switcher, edit the project name to Before Closing.
The starting folders are Characters, Concept, Materials, and Drafts. Keep approved characters and plans in the first two before drafting.
2. Discuss a three-scene outline
Send:
I am writing a realist mystery, Before Closing, from attendant Lin He's limited viewpoint.
The station lost-property desk closes at six; it is now 5:40.
Shen Min claims a gray canvas bag. She describes its exterior correctly
but names the wrong item in its inner pocket. A verbal claim is not enough to release it.
Give a three-scene outline: goal, obstacle, and change in each scene.
Leave the reason for her mistake and the bag's final recipient undecided.
Discuss in chat only; do not draft prose or change project files.
Choose the cause and ending after reading. Tell the AI which suggestions you accept; keep unused alternatives out of established facts.
3. Save characters and the outline
Create files and paste approved text yourself, or ask the AI to create only these files:
| Folder and title | Type | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Characters / Lin He | Character | Responsibilities, goal, and knowledge boundaries |
| Characters / Shen Min | Character | Chosen background and motive; open questions separately |
| Concept / Three-scene outline | Outline | Scene changes, stopping points, and final choice |
| Drafts / Scene 1 — The claim | Draft | The narrative text you adopt for this scene |
A title does not determine file type. Use Draft for prose, and the corresponding types for characters and outlines.
4. Draft the first scene
Save the character files and outline, open Scene 1 — The claim, and send:
Read Lin He, Shen Min, and Three-scene outline first.
Draft only Scene 1 — The claim, around 400–600 words, in Lin He's limited viewpoint.
Advance through actions and questions. Stop when Shen Min names the wrong item.
Do not reveal the cause, explain her thoughts, or continue to Scene 2.
Write into the current draft file; do not create a duplicate.
Check the target file: did it reach the stopping point, add unapproved facts, or lose the transition between paragraphs? Length is a target; you decide which text to keep.
5. Revise one specific problem
Suppose the draft says “Lin He knew she was lying,” but you want ambiguity. Select the line and its necessary context, choose Add to chat, and send:
Revise only the quoted passage. Lin He knows the description is wrong, not why.
Replace the accusation with an observable action or question. Keep the bag at the desk.
Suggest replacement text first; do not change other scenes or motives.
After adopting it, read the surrounding transition. In diff review, accept or reject each change before finishing; pending changes are adopted when you finish.
6. Save, continue, or export
Confirm the prose is saved before advancing to the next scene. Reuse approved notes and specify that scene's change and stopping point. When finished, choose Export manuscript in the project header or phone menu, then inspect scene order and the ending in the downloaded TXT.
See the editor, AI assistant, and export guide for detailed operations.
