I participated wholeheartedly in NaNoGenMo in the early years but fell off the past few. In 2016 I posted an intention to create a Yoko Ono Grapefruit generator to make a book of instruction pieces. And I didn't complete it. It's been in the back of my mind ever since to finally get this going. Now is that time!
I started a few days ago and am now pretty far along and just doing some tracery-wrangling right now to clean up my output. At this point the generated text is a little too random. I need to get a better understanding of Tracery's modified rulesets. Specifically, if I generate a title with an object name in it. I want to then re-use that object name within my generated text in the stanza (instruction piece) below rather than repicking new random names. If anyone can point me to a resource for learning this or seeing examples, that would be helpful! As an aside, it appears there isn't current active development of Tracery anymore? I really like using it! But if I can't figure it out, I'll have to revert back to just using vanilla Javascript where I can just use variables.
Some example output right now:

I've updated my repo because I'm finished. Well, I could keep tweaking and tweaking (and maybe one day I will) but I'm happy with where I got for NaNoGenMo this month. I've uploaded a generated 50,000+ word Grapefruit-like book called Chickpea which is also in the repo.
