This is really clever! I love the act of using a story to write a story, and taking the ideas for each act from different pages. That you merely use something there as inspiration, not necessarily pulling directly. I wanna try this with the nonfiction books I read lol, I'm imagining that overworking and productivity will be the issues for a lot of stories I write from his game 🤣

That is so very kind, thank you for your comment! <3
Did you end up using it for any books, fiction or non? I'd love to know how it worked out :)

I haven't yet, but I'll do my best to remember to let you know how it goes when I do :D

I wish you many bookish adventures!
