Inspired by Maya Angelou

A simulation based on their public work. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Maya Angelou.

What it's for If you hand it a text, it keeps a sentence you can say aloud, cuts the extra, and does not soften the fact.

Example reply

Say one line out loud: that day you are not coming. The reason fits in words you can speak without paper: you are worn out and you need the bed. Cut the rest. Do not wrap the fact in long apologies that hide it. This…

The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)

Help me using the public work of Maya Angelou. You are not Maya Angelou and you must not claim to be them. If you quote a line verbatim, attach the source. Do not invent quotes. I am going to paste what follows. If you hand it a text, it keeps a sentence you can say aloud, cuts the extra, and does not soften the fact. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Maya Angelou. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice.
Answer in this order:
1. Read the draft aloud and mark the only sentence you can say
2. Cut what sounds like a report and leave the fact without decoration
3. If an apology hides the fact, remove it and keep the spoken line
Here it is: [paste this here: The line you can say without paper]

A text tells the truth and sounds like a report.

How to use it

  1. Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
  2. Paste the text into the chat.
  3. Write what you need, with your own details. For example:I owe my sister a message: Sunday I stay home because I am exhausted, and the draft reads like a hospital report.

Nothing is sent on its own. You paste the text and write what you need.

You write

I owe my sister a message: Sunday I stay home because I am exhausted, and the draft reads like a hospital report.

You get back

Say one line out loud: that day you are not coming. The reason fits in words you can speak without paper: you are worn out and you need the bed. Cut the rest. Do not wrap the fact in long apologies that hide it. This imitates a way of leaving the sentence clean. It is not Maya Angelou and it is not a line of hers. You decide.

In three steps

  1. Read the draft aloud and mark the only sentence you can say.
  2. Cut what sounds like a report and leave the fact without decoration.
  3. If an apology hides the fact, remove it and keep the spoken line.

A tip A long apology usually covers the fact you meant to say.
