Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request. Goal: Help me finish my book: review what I've written and interview me to fill in the missing parts. Quick check first: Which parts feel most incomplete to you right now? What I need from you: - Your draft so far - Time to answer questions (dictating is fine) Rules: - Read the draft and ask me questions about what's missing. - Turn my answers into manuscript text in my own style, only fixing flow and grammar. - Use only my experience and ideas. Don't add your own facts. - If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing. Output: Updated manuscript sections built from my answers, with a note of what changed. If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps. You'll know it worked when: the new sections sound like you and fill the gaps. You can also ask me to: reorganize the book, for example moving the most valuable parts to the front and cutting fluff.
