Apparently, ChatGPT knows how to write like me (since it’s trained based on Smashwords titles), and since I’m terribly lazy, I decided to give it a test:
Order: “write 2000 word novel similar to Ada Stuart”
And the result was eerily similar to my writing (except that it’s a lot better at choosing adjectives – I hate it already, lol). Here is the result it gave me:
Certainly! Here’s a 2000-word novel similar to “Ada Stuart”:
Title: “Evelyn’s Enigma”
Chapter 1: The Mysterious Arrival
Evelyn gazed out of her bedroom window, her emerald eyes reflecting the stormy sky outside. Raindrops tapped against the glass, creating a soothing rhythm that echoed her melancholic mood. She was a woman of secrets, but none more profound than the one she held in her heart.
It had been three years since her husband, Richard, had disappeared without a trace. Some whispered that he had run away with another woman, while others believed he had met with foul play. The truth remained a mystery, and Evelyn had resigned herself to a life of solitude in their sprawling Victorian mansion.
One evening, as Evelyn sat in the dimly lit library, her attention was drawn to a peculiar sound emanating from the hallway. Footsteps, soft but deliberate, echoed through the grand old house. Her heart quickened, and she clutched the armrest of her chair.
The door to the library creaked open, revealing a silhouette cloaked in darkness. Evelyn’s breath caught in her throat as the figure stepped into the feeble light cast by a flickering candle.
“Richard?” she whispered, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and hope.
The man before her was a mere shadow of the husband she remembered. His once-handsome face was gaunt, his clothes tattered, and his eyes bore a haunted look that sent shivers down her spine.
“Evelyn,” he whispered, his voice barely audible. “I’ve come back.”
Chapter 2: Secrets Unveiled
Evelyn rushed forward, her emotions in turmoil. She embraced her long-lost husband, tears streaming down her face. “Oh, Richard, where have you been? What happened to you?”
He pulled away gently, his eyes avoiding hers. “I cannot explain everything now, my love. There are secrets, dangers… things I wish I could protect you from.”
Evelyn’s curiosity burned brighter than ever. “Tell me, Richard. I’ve waited so long. I need to know.”
Richard sighed and nodded. He led her to a pair of armchairs by the fireplace, and they sat down, their hands entwined. He began to recount his extraordinary tale.
It had started on a rainy night, much like this one, when he had stumbled upon an ancient book in the library. The book, bound in leather that had grown brittle with age, contained a cryptic incantation that promised untold powers to those who dared to utter it. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and power, Richard had foolishly recited the incantation, unaware of the consequences.
The room had plunged into darkness, and Richard had felt his body being pulled into an otherworldly vortex. He had traversed through a realm of dreams and nightmares, encountering bizarre creatures and witnessing strange phenomena. Time had lost all meaning, and he had found himself in a place beyond human comprehension.
It was there that he had encountered a mysterious figure known as the Keeper of Secrets, a being of immense power and wisdom. The Keeper had revealed to Richard the existence of a hidden dimension, a world of magic and mystery that coexisted alongside their own. Richard had been granted knowledge and abilities beyond his wildest dreams, but there was a price to pay.
The Keeper had tasked him with a mission, a quest to uncover the long-buried secrets of the hidden dimension and protect it from those who sought to exploit its power for nefarious purposes. Richard had spent years traveling through this enigmatic realm, learning its secrets and facing unimaginable challenges.
“But why did you disappear without a word?” Evelyn asked, her eyes filled with longing.
Richard’s gaze turned sorrowful. “I couldn’t tell you the truth, Evelyn. The Keeper bound me to silence, fearing that the knowledge of this world would put you in danger. I longed to return to you, but I couldn’t risk your safety.”
Chapter 3: The Enigmatic World
As Richard continued his tale, Evelyn’s curiosity only grew. She yearned to know more about this hidden dimension and the secrets it held. Richard described landscapes of breathtaking beauty, cities of shimmering crystal, and forests inhabited by mystical creatures. He spoke of his encounters with beings of light and darkness, each holding a piece of the puzzle that was the hidden dimension.
Evelyn felt a newfound sense of purpose. She was determined to stand by Richard’s side and uncover the mysteries that had consumed him for years. Together, they would face the challenges that awaited them, even if it meant venturing into the unknown.
Chapter 4: The Quest Begins
The following weeks were a whirlwind of preparation. Richard and Evelyn gathered artifacts and books from their extensive library, each containing clues and information about the hidden dimension. They consulted with scholars and mystics, seeking guidance on their quest.
Their journey began in earnest when they discovered a portal to the hidden dimension deep within the bowels of their mansion. It was an ornate mirror, hidden behind a tapestry, that served as a gateway to the enigmatic world. As they stepped through the portal, their surroundings shifted, and they found themselves standing in a realm bathed in a soft, otherworldly glow.
Their adventures in the hidden dimension were both thrilling and perilous. They encountered creatures of myth and legend, solved ancient riddles, and uncovered long-lost relics of power. With each discovery, they drew closer to understanding the true nature of this mysterious realm.
Chapter 5: The Keeper’s Revelation
One fateful day, after years of tireless searching, Richard and Evelyn stood before the Keeper of Secrets once more. The Keeper’s eyes, ancient and wise, regarded them with a mixture of sadness and anticipation.
“It is time,” the Keeper intoned, “for the final revelation.”
With a wave of his hand, the Keeper conjured an ethereal image that revealed the hidden dimension’s true purpose. It was a place of balance, a realm that held the equilibrium between light and darkness, creation and destruction. The Keeper explained that this equilibrium was essential for the stability of their world and that dark forces sought to disrupt it for their own gain.
Richard and Evelyn realized that their quest was not just about knowledge and power; it was about safeguarding the very fabric of reality itself. They were chosen to be the guardians of this enigmatic world, tasked with maintaining the delicate balance that kept their world from descending into chaos.
Chapter 6: The Return
With their newfound knowledge and a deeper understanding of their purpose, Richard and Evelyn returned to their own world through the mirror portal. They had been changed by their experiences in the hidden dimension, and they were determined to fulfill their role as protectors of the balance.
Evelyn’s heart swelled with pride as she watched her husband embrace his destiny. Together, they faced the challenges that awaited them, knowing that their love and determination would guide them through the mysteries that lay ahead.
As they stood before their mansion, raindrops fell from the darkened sky, a reminder of the night Richard had first returned. But this time, there was hope in the air, a hope that their love and courage would light the way through the enigma of their intertwined destinies.
The End
In “Evelyn’s Enigma,” we explored a tale of love, mystery, and the discovery of hidden worlds. Like Ada Stuart’s novels,
I’m just…what? How does the machine know exactly how much dialogue I like to use? And how I prefer double spaces between the sections? The only bad thing about the result is that it’s boring, but apart from that I’m just completely overwhelmed. And I’m feeling stalked.
Still, I hate boring stories so I guess this means I still have to write my own stories, lol.
