Novel Mage Feature
Continue & Generate
Stream prose that follows your outline and voice.
Continue & Generate is Novel Mage's core prose generation engine. Position your cursor at the end of any scene or paragraph and trigger generation Novel Mage loads the surrounding chapter context, relevant codex entries, your active system prompt, and your Writer's Voice preset, then streams prose that continues naturally from where you left off.
The generation is context-aware at multiple levels. It knows what just happened in the scene. It knows who is in the scene, what they look like, and what their relationship is from the codex. It knows the chapter summary of what precedes this scene. It knows your genre conventions and style preferences from your system prompt. The result is continuation prose that requires less editing than a cold AI generation the AI isn't guessing at your story, it's reading it.
Generation works at the scene level, the paragraph level, or the sentence level. You can generate a full scene from a one-line outline note, expand a placeholder like '[action sequence Marcus escapes the warehouse]' into full prose, or simply unstick yourself when you know what happens next but can't find the words. The output streams in real-time so you can stop generation early and edit from there.
Key benefits
- Context-aware generation that knows your characters, world, and current scene
- Streams in real-time stop and redirect whenever the output diverges
- Works at scene, paragraph, or sentence level depending on what you need
- Integrates with system prompts and Writer's Voice for stylistically consistent output
- Generate from outline notes directly expand '[scene description]' into full prose
How it works
Place your cursor where you want generation to begin. Press the generate shortcut or select 'Continue' from the writing toolbar. Novel Mage assembles context from the current chapter, adjacent summaries, and any relevant codex entries, then sends it to your configured AI (local or cloud). Prose streams directly into your document. You can steer the generation in real-time using the control panel or let it run and edit afterwards. Generation history is preserved so you can compare multiple attempts.
When to use it
Getting past first-draft paralysis generating a rough scene to edit rather than writing from nothing
Expanding outline notes and scene sketches into full prose
Writing action sequences, transitions, or other structural scenes that are hard to draft manually
