I have almost no clue what I am doing, but rather than ask for help I hit upon the idea of asking you to tell me what you do so I can just copy it. (I won't be able to, lol)

I'll go first:

I will follow a bunch of tutorial videos using P5.JS to generate a lot of very random text. I will then attempt to impose some structure and sort of fill the structure in. Then I'll give up and just generate 50k words of nonsense.

I will read about and think about the procedures and techniques that actual writers use when they write actual novels.

Then I will formalize a couple of those procedures, and write some Python code that implements those formalisms.

Then I'll remember that no one here besides myself is interested in formal theories or how writers write actual novels and I'll just generate 50k words of barnyard animal sounds and pass it off as "AI Oulipo".
