A Quick Guide to Navigating Pen Pal and Ally Chat on Tribescribe

Hey there, friends! Let’s take a moment to explore the layout of Pen Pal and Ally Chat—the two main areas in Tribescribe where you’ll likely spend a lot of your time (once you have an account!). Whether you’re brainstorming ideas, fine-tuning your manuscript, or searching for writing advice, these features are here to help. Let’s break it down for you. (You can also watch a demo)

1. Pen Pal: Your Writing Assistant

If you’re looking for a hands-on tool to assist with prompts and writing exercises, Pen Pal is your go-to companion. When you start a new chat, one of the areas you might land on is Pen Pal, which is specifically designed as your little writing assistant. This is the best spot to utilize all the helpful tools and prompts over on the side panel.

Why Pen Pal? Without diving into the tech-y backend details, just know that this section is optimized to help you write better, faster, and more effectively. Think of Pen Pal as a partner that helps elevate your writing process. Here’s how it works in a nutshell:

  • Select a Prompt: On the right-hand side, you’ll see a variety of prompts to choose from. These are designed to guide you through different aspects of writing.
  • Interactive Guidance: Once you pick a prompt, Pen Pal might ask you a few targeted questions to better understand how it can provide assistance. This makes it an interactive experience tailored to your writing needs.

For instance, when you click a prompt, Pen Pal might say, “Tell me how I can help elevate your writing.” From here, you can explore ways to craft compelling stories, overcome creative hurdles, and more. We’ll dive deeper into these prompts in future tutorials, but for now, know that Pen Pal is your ally for writing your best work.

2. Ally Chat: Writing Advice Straight from My Brain

If Pen Pal is all about hands-on guidance and prompts, Ally Chat is where you go for answers to your burning questions about writing and self-publishing. This feature is built using content I’ve created over the years—think blog posts, videos, presentations, and more. Essentially, Ally Chat is powered by my experience, making it a curated hub of advice and insights.

Here’s what makes Ally Chat special:

  • Ask Anything: Simply type in your questions, and Ally Chat will provide answers based on authentic content I’ve created.
  • Curated Knowledge: From “What’s a beta reader?” to “How do I overcome writer’s block?”, the advice comes directly from years of my writing and publishing journey.
  • Source Links: Want to dig deeper? Ally Chat can link you to the original material—whether it’s a video, blog post, or transcript—so you can get even more context.

While it’s not me answering your questions live, the information comes straight from my brain. It’s like having me right there with you as you navigate the ups and downs of writing and publishing.

Two Tools, One Goal

Between Pen Pal’s writing assistance and Ally Chat’s treasure trove of self-publishing advice, these two features are designed to make your writing journey smoother and more productive. Whether you’re diving into prompts or hunting down answers, you’ll have all the guidance you need at your fingertips.

Stay tuned for longer demos and deeper dives into what these tools can do! For now, I hope this quick overview helps you get started. Happy writing, and let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see added or clarified.
