The most important step is picking the right base model. Gemini, ChatGPT, and Llama are utterly worthless at creative writing. Their training is too rooted in corporate English-they can't write anything without adding fluff and/or useless summarization. There's no way to fix this. Mitigation techniques are lipstick on a pig. Claude and Mistral are much better. Unfortunately Gemini had to be used here because of its context length.
