✨ How to Use Your Prompt with ChatGPT ✨

Hi there, I’m one of the Inkbots 👋
Here’s how to make the most of your prompt:

Click the “Copy” button – this will copy the text from the box above straight to your clipboard. (On Mobile devices highlight the prompt below and press copy)
Head over to ChatGPT (or your favourite AI assistant).
Paste the prompt into the chat box (right-click + paste or Ctrl+V / Cmd+V).
Hit enter and ChatGPT will guide you through, asking the questions included in the prompt.
Answer the questions in your own words and watch the magic happen!

💡 Extra Tips from the Inkbots:

Want to save your ChatGPT output? Try asking:
- “Please export this as a formatted Word document.”
- “Can you turn this into an Excel table?”
Prefer to do it manually? Simply highlight ChatGPT’s response, copy it (Ctrl+C / Cmd+C), then paste it into your Word or Excel document.

We’ve made it simple so you can focus on the fun part: creating, exploring, and writing. 🚀

✨ These are the questions the prompt will ask✨

What is your author name (pen name if applicable)?

Do you want the journal to be daily, weekly, or mixed format?

What type of affirmations or motivational style do you prefer (practical, spiritual, humorous, tough-love)?

Should I include progress tracking sections (word counts, time spent, milestones)?

Do you want creative reflection prompts (questions, exercises) included?

Should I also provide printable PDF pages as well as a Word doc?

Do you want space for goal setting and review (monthly/quarterly check-ins)?

Should I tailor the affirmations and prompts to your specific genre (romance, fantasy, thriller, non-fiction, etc.)?
