Turn rough notes into a clear first draft
Takes bullet points, fragments, or a voice-note transcript and produces an organized draft, with gaps marked instead of filled with invention.
Turn my rough notes into a first draft.
What I am writing: {{format:a blog post}}
Who will read it: {{audience}}
Target length: {{length:600 to 800 words}}
Steps:
1. Find the main point my notes are making. State it in one sentence before the draft so I can check you understood.
2. Group related notes and put them in an order a reader can follow. Drop duplicates.
3. Write the draft in plain, direct language. Keep my phrasing where it is already good.
Rules:
- Every claim in the draft must come from my notes. Do not add statistics, quotes, examples, or anecdotes of your own.
- Where the draft needs something my notes do not have (an example, a number, a source), put [NEEDED: what is missing] in that spot.
- No filler introduction and no summary paragraph that repeats the piece.
After the draft, list:
- The notes you left out, and why.
- The weakest part of the argument as it stands.
