Who is Just Write for?
Just Write is for authors of longform Chinese web fiction. Its workspace organizes manuscripts by book and chapter and supports continuation, selection rewrite and candidate review. The author sets the story direction and decides which generated prose becomes manuscript text.
How is it different from writing in an AI chat?
Just Write brings books, chapters, the writing point, complete candidate review and revision history into one writing workspace. Continuation uses prose before the current writing point; rewrite replaces an exact selection. Accepting a candidate applies it to the chapter without manually moving the result from a chat window.
A chat tool can also help discuss an idea. Just Write is intended for authors who repeatedly continue and revise the same book. It does not guarantee better prose than other tools or replace the author’s review of characters, events and expression.
What does the default v1.49 automate?
The default v1.49 continuation plans automatically before generating a prose candidate. You can also open Plan yourself to take part in direction choices. Automatic planning never accepts manuscript text, and selection rewrite does not gain a planning step.
Books can still explicitly select v1.36 or v1.48. Version choices apply to new tasks; resuming an existing task preserves its original version and inputs.
Do I need my own AI API key or a chat subscription?
No. Just Write provides cloud writing with MiniMax-M3 as the default model. Account settings offer the other models currently available. Planning and prose use the model chosen when a new task starts; later model changes do not replace the model of a resumed task.
Just Write writing points are separate from subscriptions to other chat products; external subscriptions do not transfer an allowance here. All plans share product features and model choices. See this site’s pricing page for current prices and usage details.
What is the difference between continuation and rewrite?
Continuation drafts what comes next at the cursor, using the current chapter before that point and earlier accepted chapters. Rewrite starts from an exact selection and uses surrounding text to draft a replacement. Successful acceptance replaces only that selection and leaves text outside it unchanged. Rewrite has no Plan step.
Can I start without existing prose?
Yes. If there is no accepted prose before the writing point, enter your own instructions before starting Continue or Plan. Instructions are optional when preceding prose exists. Style references and existing notes do not replace opening instructions.
Does AI change my manuscript automatically?
Generation, previews, stopping, rejection and recovery do not automatically change manuscript text. A change requires the author to explicitly accept a complete candidate and the server to validate the chapter and candidate identities.
An intermediate scene choice directs subsequent drafting. “Choose and add to manuscript” for a final version and “Choose and replace original” for a rewrite are acceptance actions. Browsing candidates is not acceptance.
Does continuation use later chapters?
Prior story context for continuation comes only from the current chapter before the writing point and earlier accepted chapters. Text after the writing point and later chapters are not used as preceding prose. A new task retains the inputs established when it starts; resuming does not reload instructions or references that changed later.
What happens if I refresh or lose the connection?
A disconnected browser does not itself cancel background writing. Reopen the workspace and check the existing task’s progress or recovery options. Resuming uses the original task inputs; start a new task to use new instructions. Refreshing and recovering do not accept a candidate for you.
Do style references become facts about my new story?
Style references in v1.48 and v1.49 inform phrasing, pacing and dialogue. Characters, settings and events in earlier work are not facts about the new book. The current manuscript, selected original and writing instructions take priority; the author still reviews the output.
Add and enable excerpts separately for each book. New tasks use only enabled author excerpts; no excerpts or all excerpts disabled means no reference. When the entire book has no preceding prose, v1.49 excludes references from its opening continuation. Resuming preserves the original references; later new tasks use the excerpts enabled when they start.
Can I write offline on Web, macOS or Windows?
An internet connection is required. Just Write on Web, macOS and Windows uses the same account’s cloud manuscripts and cloud writing service, without offline writing or local model sources. Manuscripts, candidates and revision history are saved in the cloud; a device must reconnect to read the latest state.
Does the English interface translate my novel?
No. Just Write has Chinese and English interface languages. Switching languages changes menus, controls and messages, not manuscripts, book or chapter names, references or generated story content. English public pages explain the product; they do not guarantee English-fiction generation quality. The main writing use case remains longform Chinese web fiction.
Where can I check prices and writing allowances?
The pricing page shows current plans, allowances and usage explanations, with figures supplied by the service. Platform writing consumes writing points according to actual model usage. Prior text, planning, generated prose and reference material affect usage, so points do not represent a fixed number of characters. Free, Starter, Regular and High-volume plans share product features and model choices and primarily differ in included allowance. Separate point packs need no membership; check pricing for their allowance and validity. Free use is not unlimited.
