This is the GCSE framework approach to constructing a prompt for Copilot or any AI.

Goal, Context, Source, and Expectation

Try it on something you're researching โ€”it's not perfect, but #AI is definitely a powerful research and planning tool when used intelligently and its answers cross-checked.

Using #AI as a #writer. Is there a place for it, not in your writing, but in the steps that follow? Maybe that elusive #Agent or #publisher hunt? It's all about your prompt. Here's an example of 1 I created for Copilot, along with its response.
#WritingCommunity. Would you ever use it like this?

Indeed. I think there is an easy argument for people to stay in their lanes, but thereโ€™s also an argument that anyone should be able to write about anything
but then my favourite phrase in filmmaking โ€˜just because you can doesnโ€™t mean you shouldโ€™ might also apply here?

I suspect youโ€™re right about both of those things. At the same time you canโ€™t stop someone writing what they want to write. whether it see the light of day thatโ€™s another matter.. so in the self publishing instant web world weโ€™re in now, anything goes, whether it should or not well thatโ€™s debatable

It's an interesting one
The perspective would be 100% authentic if told from POV of someone who's lived that experience.
But then again, there are films & books about subjects no one has ever lived & they seem believable.
At what point does a subject become a question you ask that about? I wonder.

Had a session with my writing mentor, who's also an #agent, last night - Without fail, he will look at a chapter and immediately find one way to tighten it. His basic message in each session is always about the #energy in the read

I said just now Iโ€™ve never heard of Stanley water bottles - then my daughter said, but you have one & brought this down from my office.

I'm just a girl, in the querying trenches, looking for an agent who gets how important autism representation is in middle grade. Particularly with how autism is currently being talked about....

Anyone out there?

Discovered a big diff re Word #Mac & Word #Windows.

On Windows, I can click & drag my chapters around in Document Map - the whole chapter moves. Mac? No, you can't do that.

Why! Sob.

Weeeell thatโ€™s put a spanner in the works of a quick bit of #writing before jumping on a casting meeting. Bugger.

The book is worth having. Nothing like the show. His behaviour if remotely true is disgusting but I canโ€™t stop having liked a book. Itโ€™s complicated indeed.

G'morning #WIPSnips! Today's snip comes from Clipper, and is a vibey choice. No WIP of mine contains 'loaf' at all.

I didn't get that far - but they are great books.

Good Omens, the book that he co-wrote with the deservedly now cancelled if all true, Gaiman, which the TV series didn't really do any favours, is still my fave book of all time.
