Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of guided writing strategies based on Gen-AI and digital novels on creative writing and creative thinking skills. The research method used in this study was a quasi-experiment involving 250 students. The instruments used were the Torrance Creative Thinking Test, Creative Writing Scale, and interviews. The data analysis employed the t-test to explore differences in the levels of creative thinking and creativity in short story composition. The results showed that guided writing strategies based on Gen-AI and digital novels could improve creative writing and creative thinking skills. Increased flexibility was observed in the use of language variations and adjustments to short story topics. Increased originality was evident in students' thinking, which was difficult to predict and capable of producing creative and innovative short stories. Increased elaboration was marked by their ability to express ideas using more complex and varied language. Furthermore, increased sensitivity was observed in students' ability to adapt short stories to more comprehensive themes. Thus, guided writing strategies based on Gen-AI and digital novels were effective in enhancing creative thinking and creative writing skills for short stories. This study implies that integrating guided writing, both individually and in groups, not only improves creative writing skills for short stories but also increases motivation to write and think creatively.
