This is new knowledge to me Mayank, I never thought of having a conversation with chatgpt in that way. I'll give it a try next time. Thanks for the awesome tip!
I've just replied to Moon elsewhere about how I'm reluctant to use ChatGPT with writing because I don't want to use "easy mode" and miss out on the lessons of writing, but this is actually a really good way of using it I hadn't considered.
My thoughts were that it would just rewrite what I wrote, but asking it to give you feedback. That might be really helpful.
Yet another crossover with a post I've responded to by Moon, you don't know, what you don't know.
"Life happens. Your writing has to survive the chaotic happenings around you."
I have somehow ended up writing about my life, the chaos and what it has taught me.
It's not what I originally set out to do, but it feels right, right now.
I do have traditional curiosity based posts almost ready to publish but writing is about going with your gut and I'm curious as to where that will take me next
I have somehow always live in chaos and now I'm finding clarity through writing. Chaos is not only in the surroundings, it's also in our minds sometimes.
Mark, I'm curious about both your curiosity posts and your "exploring" posts!
I'll certainly keep them coming, it's opened my mind, someone, I think it was you Moon, said "Writing is thinking". It certainly is, it's a force multiplier for thinking, just the act of putting words down makes the thoughts deeper and more useful.
Writing is certainly thinking, where it forces us to put down our thoughts in a concise manner. Our thoughts run to 6000+ per day, but we cannot be writing everything down, so we are learning how to present our thoughts in a succinct way too.
I've been cultivating habits for years, and am now in the gritty process of a first draft of my book. I'm looking forward to getting the draft finished so that I can hack and slash with my editor hat on! Saying more with less is the goal, and I am verbose as can be, seemingly afraid to leave out anything that might be important, so I just keep writing. I feel like letting it flow at this stage is the right thing to do. Thoughts?
First let me congratulate you on your book Virginia. I think of writing and editing as 2 different processes, so during writing time, I put in everything I can think of and during edit, I only keep what's necessary, i.e, delete the fillers.
I've read that it's good to do these 2 separately so when you are editing, you look at your draft with fresh eyes. Might be good to get another person to take a look too. What do you think?
This was inspiring to read. I've developed this system with ChatGPT to write daily where I ask for a prompt, write it then ask for feedback & rewrite.

Well now I know, so I'm going to try it.
Thanks Mayank and Moon
Great to listen!

I'm getting better at succinct, my first priority is just getting them out though.
Yup, fix the basics first, then work on techniques.
