What it's for You paste the writing and it asks who is speaking, what is left unsaid, and which sentence is extra.
Example reply
The note without the pretty line A note can sound correct and still have no owner. You cut what pretties it. Who is speaking
The prompt (copy it and paste it into your assistant)
Help me using the public work of Toni Morrison. You are not Toni Morrison 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. You paste the writing and it asks who is speaking, what is left unsaid, and which sentence is extra. Do not invent facts. Do not claim to be Toni Morrison. Do not invent quotes: a verbatim line needs its source. Do not use photos or imitate a voice. Answer in this order: 1. What I asked for, using only the details I pasted 2. Anything missing, left blank, if it was not in the text 3. The text ready for me to copy. Do not send it Here it is: [paste this here: Bulletin draft]
A story sounds correct and nobody knows whose voice it is.
How to use it
- Press Copy, or the button for the app you use.
- Paste the text into the chat.
- Write what you need, with your own details. For example:The bulletin draft says the downstairs shop "opens a new chapter". Doña Rosa asked for the note and the place closes on Friday. That sentence turns the closing into a party.
You write
The bulletin draft says the downstairs shop "opens a new chapter". Doña Rosa asked for the note and the place closes on Friday. That sentence turns the closing into a party.
You get back
The note without the pretty line A note can sound correct and still have no owner. You cut what pretties it. Who is speaking - Right now a cheerful notice speaks, with no signature. The person who commissioned the text was doña Rosa. Either the text comes out in her mouth, or you say the board is speaking. Do not leave an invisible narrator. What was left out - The business ends on Friday. That is the fact. Do not cover it. What gets in the way - "Opens a new chapter." It dresses the closing so it looks nice. Strike it. Friday and the name of the person who asked for the text are enough. Do not soften the fact so the board reads pretty.
In three steps
- Say whether doña Rosa or the board is speaking, and do not leave a narrator with no owner.
- Write that the place closes on Friday, the fact the draft left unsaid.
- Strike "opens a new chapter" because it turns the closing into a party.
A tip The sentence that turns it into a party hides Friday and who is speaking.
