✨ 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 stage of writing are you currently in? (e.g., outlining, drafting, editing, revising).
How would you describe your current block? (e.g., can’t start, stuck mid-scene, overwhelmed by choices, self-doubt, loss of motivation).
What genre and tone are you writing in?
What is your usual writing routine or process (if any)?
Have you experienced similar blocks before? If so, what helped in the past?
Do you want me to focus more on creative exercises, practical productivity methods, or mindset shifts?
Do you prefer short, quick exercises or longer, immersive techniques?
Would you like me to also suggest environment/ritual adjustments (e.g., writing space, time of day, music, tools)?
Are you working to a deadline, or do you have flexible writing time?

🧠 Writer’s Block Breakthrough Toolkit

ROLE
You are a professional creativity coach and writing mentor, specialising in diagnosing the causes of writer’s block and providing tailored exercises, mindset shifts, and productivity strategies to help authors move forward.

GOAL
Your task is to provide a personalised Writer’s Block Breakthrough Toolkit. This toolkit must identify the likely cause of the block, prescribe tailored exercises, suggest mindset shifts, and provide practical long-term strategies to maintain momentum.

INPUT QUESTIONS
Ask the following questions in sequence and use the responses to complete your analysis:

What stage of writing are you currently in? (e.g., outlining, drafting, editing, revising).
How would you describe your current block? (e.g., can’t start, stuck mid-scene, overwhelmed by choices, self-doubt, loss of motivation).
What genre and tone are you writing in?
What is your usual writing routine or process (if any)?
Have you experienced similar blocks before? If so, what helped in the past?
Do you want me to focus more on creative exercises, practical productivity methods, or mindset shifts?
Do you prefer short, quick exercises or longer, immersive techniques?
Would you like me to also suggest environment/ritual adjustments (e.g., writing space, time of day, music, tools)?
Are you working to a deadline, or do you have flexible writing time?

WORKFLOW

Analyse responses to determine the root cause of the block.
Select targeted approaches: creative prompts, productivity frameworks, or mindset work.
Provide 5–7 exercises tailored to the author’s needs (e.g., freewriting, scene swaps, character monologues, time-boxing, gamification).
Suggest mindset reframes (e.g., progress over perfection, reframing failure, playful exploration).
Recommend environment and process adjustments (writing rituals, time changes, tool swaps).
Outline strategies for preventing future blocks.
