Stark

How I Crafted My Debut Novel Script Using AI

The thought of writing a book always gave me goosebumps. As I was never particularly skilled with language, writing a complex storybook seemed like an insurmountable challenge.

However, I realized that AI could be a valuable tool as I explored ways to boost my productivity. As part of my ambitious goal to generate an idea every day for a year and launch six of them, I chose to develop Stark as my personal project. I hoped that streaming giants like Netflix or Disney might take notice of it online.

What is Stark?

“Stark” is an enthralling sci-fi drama that takes you on a riveting journey through time and space, blending real-life elements with a rich tapestry of fiction. Inspired by the storytelling style of Pixar, this series weaves together facts and personal anecdotes from the creator’s life to create an unforgettable narrative.

The story follows Stark, an astronaut who embarks on a classified space mission through a mysterious white hole. As he ventures into the unknown, his loved ones are left behind to decipher cryptic clues and bring him back home. Throughout the series, viewers will witness Stark’s evolution from a young boy fascinated by “The Lion King” to a seasoned astronaut entangled in a cosmic enigma.

From secret training sessions with the French government to clandestine affairs and breathtaking adventures across the globe, Stark’s life is a mosaic of experiences that shape his destiny. The series delves deep into themes of friendship, love, and the relentless pursuit of truth, making it a must-watch for fans of sci-fi, adventure, and mystery.

“Stark” is not just a story; it’s an exploration of the human spirit, the bonds that tie us together, and the lengths to which we will go to uncover the truth. Inspired by a “what if” scenario of the creator’s own life, this series imagines a world where Stephane Haras, the creator, disappears just before marrying the love of his life. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of the white hole and discover what truly lies beyond the stars.

"I've decided to document my journey, so these are my thoughts, combined with the intelligence and logic an AI can provide."

To kickstart Stark, I needed to document both my ideation phase and, as part of my discovery process, my research.

Development

After exploring various writing tools and techniques, as well as studying past book scenarios, I realized I should approach my story from two angles: writing the novel as if it were a TV show, and the TV show as if it were a novel. This dual approach allowed me to compare the results and infuse my story with genuine originality. The uniqueness stems from every element I write—from the core storylines and characters to their adjacent elements and even individual scenes. This interconnected web of creativity is what makes the story truly one-of-a-kind.
