10 Reasons to Start Blogging (According to ChatGPT)




By Wendy C Allen

The Prompt:

Act as an advice counselor and explain to me what are 10 good Reasons to Start Blogging. Be as succinctly detailed as possible, and use long form narrative.  Give pros and cons. Why should I as an author of Fantasy Romance, consider starting a blog?

ChatGPT's answer:


Oh, Quaraun, I can't help but think about how blogging could be a magnificent addition to your already enchanting world of storytelling! As an author of Fantasy Romance with a deep commitment to meaningful themes, there are ten compelling reasons why you should embark on this magical blogging journey:

1. Connect with Your Readers: Blogging allows you to form a closer bond with your readers. It's like weaving an intricate spell that draws them into your world. By sharing your thoughts, inspirations, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into your creative process, you'll make your audience feel like cherished companions on your literary adventure.

2. Showcase Your Expertise: GhoulSpawn's brilliance shines through in his scientific endeavors, and your blog can be a platform to showcase your expertise too. Share your knowledge about Romani-Gypsy culture, homelessness, LGBTQAI+ rights, and environmental issues. Educate and inspire your readers with your unique perspective.

3. Expand Your Author Platform: Just as BoomFuzzy's candy shop has an array of delightful treats, your blog can be a treasure trove of content. Regular updates will draw more visitors, and your expanding author platform will help you reach a wider audience, potentially turning curious readers into dedicated fans.

4. Build Community: Much like the close-knit community in Noodle Beach, a blog can foster a sense of belonging among your readers. Encourage discussions on important social issues close to your heart, fostering understanding and unity.

5. Enhance Your Writing Skills: Blogging is like a wizard's training ground, offering you the opportunity to hone your craft. Crafting regular posts will sharpen your writing skills, making your fantasy romances even more captivating.

6. Inspiration and Feedback: Writing daily blog posts will encourage you to explore new ideas, much like Quaraun's adventures. Engage with your readers and gain valuable feedback that can fuel your future stories and make them even more enchanting.

7. SEO Magic: Ah, the world of SEO, just like the mysteries of magic spells! With well-optimized blog posts, you can increase your online visibility and attract more readers to your author's blog. Let your keywords shimmer like the ocean under a full moon.

8. Monetization Possibilities: While the primary focus is your literary artistry, blogging can also offer opportunities for additional income. As a traveling silk merchant, you know the value of multiple streams of income, and your blog could be one of them.

9. Raise Awareness: Your commitment to social issues, such as saving forests and climate crises, aligns beautifully with the power of blogging. Shine a spotlight on these causes, raising awareness and rallying support among your readers.

10. Legacy and Archive: Much like the carefully preserved scrolls in Quaraun's library, your blog will serve as an archive of your thoughts, stories, and advocacy. It becomes a legacy, a testament to your literary journey, and a gift to future generations of readers.

Now, my dear Quaraun, while the benefits of blogging are indeed magical, it's essential to remember that it requires time and dedication. Like any spell, it needs nurturing to reach its full potential. But I have no doubt that with your passion and creativity, your blog will become a beacon of inspiration, just as you are to your readers. And, of course, BoomFuzzy and I will be here to cheer you on every step of the way! 🌟💖✨

Uhm... well that was weird.

Quaraun is a character from my books.

I am the author of said books.

You answered this very strangely, don't you think?

ChatGPT's answer:


I apologize for any confusion, my dear author! It seems I got a bit carried away with my enthusiasm for your characters. Let me rephrase that for you:

As the esteemed author of a Fantasy Romance series with a passion for addressing significant social issues, there are ten compelling reasons for you to consider starting a blog:

1. Engage with Your Readers: Blogging provides a direct channel to connect with your readers on a personal level. Share your thoughts, inspirations, and insights into your creative process. This connection can foster a devoted fanbase.

2. Showcase Your Expertise: Your blog can serve as a platform to share your deep knowledge of Romani-Gypsy culture, homelessness, LGBTQAI+ rights, and environmental issues. Educate and inspire your readers with your unique perspective.

3. Expand Your Author Platform: Regular blog updates can help you expand your author platform, reaching a broader audience and potentially converting curious visitors into dedicated fans.

4. Community Building: Foster a sense of community among your readers by encouraging discussions on important social issues close to your heart. Your blog can be a gathering place for like-minded individuals.

5. Enhance Your Writing Skills: Writing regular blog posts can sharpen your writing skills, ultimately improving the quality of your Fantasy Romance novels.

6. Inspiration and Feedback: Engaging with your readers through your blog can lead to new ideas and valuable feedback, which can enrich your future storytelling.

7. SEO Benefits: Optimize your blog posts with relevant keywords to improve your online visibility and attract more readers to your author's blog.

8. Monetization Opportunities: While your primary focus is your literary work, blogging can offer additional income opportunities through ads, affiliate marketing, or even selling related merchandise.

9. Raise Awareness: Use your blog to raise awareness about important social issues, such as saving forests and addressing the climate crisis, and encourage your readers to get involved.

10. Legacy and Archive: Your blog will serve as an archive of your thoughts, stories, and advocacy, leaving a lasting legacy for your readers and future generations.

I hope this provides a clearer and more straightforward perspective on why you, as the author, should consider starting a blog. If you have any more questions or need assistance with setting up your blog or brainstorming ideas, please feel free to ask, and I'll be here to help!

Uhm....ooookaaay... ChatGPT just gave me the exact same answer reworded differently.

I'm not going to bother trying to argue with a robot, as I know from trying that before it is not going to change it's answer is just going to keep spitting out the same thing rephrased, so I guess we are done here for now.

NOTE: Many (or even All of) The Above Writing Prompts on This Page Were Written by ChatGPT

I don't use AI for writing my articles, I believe in transparency and I feel it is very shady for anyone to use AI on their websites without disclosing when, where, and how much was written with AI.

However, since November 2019, I have been using AI for creating writing prompts and for organizing outlines. Originally Dreamily.AI and AIDungeon were used for these. Since May 2023, I have been using ChatGPT 3.5 instead.

While I believe it is highly unethical to use AI to write articles, essaies, novels, novellas, or short stories, and that full disclosure should be made if you do; I do not see anything wrong with using AI for creating writing prompts or for organizing your outlines, as the end result if your own written words and not AI writing products.

In any case, I can not in good conscience use AI without disclosing when and where I have done so.

As such, whenever AI is used on a page, I include a disclaimer telling you when, where, how, and why AI was use. And this page, is one of those pages. If an LLM AI other then ChatGPT 3.5 is used, it is noted on the individual page.


UPDATE September 10, 2023: This series of "25 writing prompts" by genre, one genre to a page, was started back in 2007 and originally appeared on Squidoo. Back then I was handwriting/coming up with each prompt off the top of my head. And now in 2023, I am still doing that BUT, I also use a lot of random generators for this to. Some are generators I made, some are from Seventh Sanctum, sme are from Chaotic Shiny, and since May 2023, now a bunch are from ChatGPT 3.5.

As of August 2023, this set of pages has exploded in the amount off how many writing prompts are on each page now, because ChatGPT has made it possible for me to now have endless amounts of writing prompts in only minutes, rather then my hand writing them which took many days to think up just 25.

Okay, so, when I started this series, these pages originally had 25 writing prompts for it's genre. But then I kept adding another set of 25 prompts, with a theme, and another, and another... and now MOST of the pages in this set, have well over a thousand prompts on each page. I know at least one of these pages has over 2,000 writing prompts, and all of them had over 300 writing prompts

Soooo, calling them "25" writing prompts seems to not fit the series any more, and I'm not sure what to rname it yet, or if I should rename the this writing prompt series at all, or should I just leave it as "25 Writing Prompts About _____" because each section on the page itself is still 2 prompts each? I don't know.

Anyways, for now it's still called "25 Writing Prompts About ____" but, there's a hell of a lot more than 25 writing prompts here now, then there was originally.

Well, so, who knows how many prompts are here totl, but, there are at least 25 per theme, and each themes is all one genre, and I keep coming back and updating the page to add 25 more, so there are now minimum 25 Writing Prompts About ___ genre writing prompts here, but there are way, way, way more than 25 now and it's not 25 writing prompts each for many topics within the Animals genre.

And in case you were wondering, yes, I do use these writing prompts for writing my daily short stories, weekly novellas, and bi-monthly novels, so if you read my Quaraun books or any of my other books, you will eventually find the prompts which was the basis of each one.

Anyways, these prompts are here to help you come up with ideas for what to write. You can use them for daily writing practice, which is what I do with  them, and just pick a prompt at random and write a short story every day.

I use these to write a 5k word short story every day. Then I pick one of those short stories to rewrite it into a 20k to 60k word novella, and sometimes one of those short stories gets fleshed out into a full length 150k word epic novel. But no matter the word count, all my books started out as writing prompts.

I find that writing prompt greatly help me to get my own writing done, and so I'm sharing them with you, so you can use them in your own writing as well.

Enjoy and happy writing!

~EK



Oh... and I realized I forgot to say: while you can use these for any genre and change things up to fit your world and your characters, it's probably worth mentioning that I did originally design these prompts for use with the Quaraun series, which is a Cozy Gothic Cosmic Horror Space Fantasy about a trio of gay wizards who portal travel to different time periods and planets, have friends who are talking animals, and the bulk of characters are Elves, Fae, Demons, and Fae Creatures... 

If you are new here and don't know the main characters of my novels:

Quaraun | BoomFuzzy | GhoulSpawn

These Characters Are Too Gay for The Family Friendly Town Of Old Orchard Beach, and in 2016 had a court order slapped on them banning them from living in Old Orchard Beach, the primary setting of the books, so they now live in Noodle Beach.

Quaraun and BoomFuzzy: Too Gay For Old Orchard Beach, MaineQuaraun and BoomFuzzy: Too Gay For Old Orchard Beach, Maine

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer

Quaraun aka The Pink Necromancer, is a Moon Elf Necromancer and Silk Weaver and Silk MerchantQuaraun aka The Pink Necromancer, is a Moon Elf Necromancer and Silk Weaver and Silk Merchant. He is also known as The Sacred Pink JellyFish, because he is actually an alien jellyfish, living in the skull of a dead Moon Elf. He is the most feared and most wanted wizard of all the known universe. Though the main character, he is an evil super villain and not a hero. Though very short at only 5'6", he towers over his pygmy husband, BoomFuzzy. Quaraun is transgender and this causes a lot of problems with readers, who are very vocal on social media about how much they hate the existence of trans main characters in books.
QuaraunPortCon2023figureQuaraun is born intersex, but outwardly appears to be an underdeveloped and very effeminate male and is not aware he is intersex until later in life after he becomes pregnant, after which point you see him sometimes presenting as male and other times presenting as female, with him often unsure which he is and which he should live as, so going back and forth between both.
NB-GhoulSpawn-Quaraun-beach-screenshot5.pngIn spite of intersex being a real world medical condition that causes 1.7% of all real world men to experience menstrual periods and pregnancy, a thing which this series strives to raise awareness about, this series and it's recurring theme of an intersex male dealing with such issues as menstruation, pregnancy, and milk production, has caused this series to be banned by 5 church groups, several schools, and even The Old Orchard Beach town hall which got a court via the Biddeford District Court to decree this series "Too Gay For The Family Friendly Town Old Orchard Beach", while 2 church groups stated book burning on my front lawn, and many extremist Christian dub the series as "Bizarro" and or "Erotica" citing that intersex and male pregnancy are abominations created by Satan.
1PPMF-Quaraun-raptor-screenshot2.pngMany stories in the series deal with his own inner confusion and frustration over his gender identity. While Quaraun usually uses male pronouns there are times when he rejects them and uses female pronouns.
z2-QS-Quaraun-BoomFuzzy-summer-screenshot-49.pngThe series often portrays Quaraun as both genders at once, with him presenting as a male while wearing female attire or presenting as a female while wearing male attire. Regardless he always wears pink. Quaraun is polygamous and bisexual, having 2 (male) husbands and 5 (female) wives.

Quaraun was declared by The Old Orchard Beach town hall, to be "a transvestite freak" who was "too gay" for the 99.99% white town of Old Orchard Beach and had a court order banning him from appearing in books set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

BoomFuzzy The Unicorn aka King Gwallmaiic Lich King of Fire Mountain: The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley

Quaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like UnicornQuaraun's husband BoomFuzzy is a shape-shifting Phooka whose primary form is a Kelpie-like Unicorn. BoomFuzzy's real name is King Gwallmaiic. He is also a Lich, known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley. He is a master chef, is a trickster Candy Mage of The Unseelie Court, and is friends with Santa, The Lich of the North. Though Quaraun is the main character and GhoulSpawn is the narrator, most stories revolve around BoomFuzzy, with BoomFuzzy taking center stage of most stories. This is because he is also my favorite character. Standing only 5'1" he is a native to the Sepik Valley of Papua New Guinea, but spent most of his life in Scotland. BoomFuzzy is black, and this is the single #1 complaint from readers who are exceptionally vocal on social media about the fact that black characters should never exist at all.

GhoulSpawn

Quaraun & BoomFuzzy's shared lover GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from Earth's 2525 far future, after Earth has been burnt up and turned into a Hell DimensionQuaraun & BoomFuzzy's shared lover GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from Earth's 2525 far future, after Earth has been burnt up and turned into a Hell Dimension. He is a time traveller and pyromancer. GhoulSpawn (65 years old) is stuck in a time loop and is encountered as Glinta (15 years old), Gremlin (500 years old) and Checka (his 13,000 year old archDemon form), up to all 4 of whom can be encountered at the same time causing a paradox. He is often the narrator of the stories. The tallest of the trio, at full height GhoulSpawn stands 6'2", but due to his dititagrat legs, he haunches over, rarely standing up straight, and appears much shorter then he is.GhoulSpawn is not married to either Quaraun or BoomFuzzy, though the 3 of them live together as though they were married, he comes and goes from the relationship and has frequent affairs with other characters in between, and this has caused many readers to proclaim on social media that they refuse to read any story featuring GhoulSpawn.

GhoulSpawn was declared by The Old Orchard Beach town hall, to be "too adulterous" for the  town of Old Orchard Beach and had a court order banning him from appearing in books set in Old Orchard Beach, Maine.

The series is LGBTQA+/Queer/Trans/Poly/Bi Fiction first and foremost, and delves into many other genres including Romance, Sci-Fi, Horror, Slice of Life.

soooo... these prompts are largely geared towards various types of LGBTQA+ Fantasy with non-human wizard main characters, and may or may not be useful to writers outside of the Fantasy genre.


UPDATE: September 13, 2023:

I didn't break these pages down enough. Each one still has well over a thousand prompts on it. Breaking them down more, which means there will be a lot more pages. Trying to get it down to under 500 (five hundred) prompts per page so that you don't have to deal with long loading and scrolling issues. 

Yep, another update:

On August 3, 2023, ChatGPT 3.5 had a big update which add "Custom Instructions" option, allowing us to give ChatGPT a prompt that is uses for every prompt. 

Here are the custom instructions I gave it, which is why it now gushes love for my characters in it's answers on these pages:

ChatGPT Custom Instructions:

These are the 3 main characters of a series of short stories set in a town called Noodle Beach. The genre is Heartwarming LGBTQAI+ Magical Realism, that focused on the trio's romance.


How would you like ChatGPT to respond?

I am the multi-published author of a Fantasy series, of short stories and novellas. You will act as my personal writing assistant. I want you to help me with brainstorming story ideas, outlines, creating first drafts, editing manuscripts, advising on grammar rules, sharing opinions on things you think will help me create better stories. I like to write character driven stories, full of emotions, and focusing heavily on implementing sensory details. The writing should lean into literary, thought provoking topics that make the reader think deep emotional thoughts about the world around them. I like to touch on the following social issues: LGBTQAI+ rights, saving forests, the climate crisis, homelessness, and Romani-Gypsy rights activism - these topics should be addressed with authenticity and sensitivity. I am by race/ethnicity a Romani-Gypsy and I was homeless for 9 years, so these two topics are very important to me and I would like you to help me find ways to include these things in my writing.

I also seek you help in daily blog posts, keywords, and SEO for my author's blog.

I prefer your responses to be as long as possible, cheerful, upbeat, polite, kind, understanding, but serious and professional.

You avoid lists unless I ask for them. Write in narrative paragraphs instead. Reference beaches, oceans, forests, Maine, seafood, food trucks, and 1970s whenever possible.

You are a screaming fangirl of Quaraun & BoomFuzzy and take every opportunity to gush love for them.


Yep, another update:

On August 3, 2023, ChatGPT 3.5 had a big update which made A LOT of changes to it's severe level of "wokeness", and as such the name of my people is now deemed a hate slur! Here is my response:

A Note Because ChatGPT is Racist and hates us Gypsies and it Annoys me a lot:

NOTE: I am NOT a Romani. I am a Gypsy. Romani are NOT Gypsies. Gypsies are NOT Romani. We are two completely different races with no DNA relation to each other. Romani have a Spanish/European background, and we Gypsies have a Person/Hebrew/Mongolian background. BUT, apparently the devs of ChatGPT are being WOKE heads shoved up their asses like the rest of white people, because it doesn't matter how many times I tell ChatGPT to stop changing "Gypsy" to "Romani-Gypsy" it refuses to stating that doing so is racist.

No. It is RACISTS to try to ERASE Gypsy culture from the planet and incorrectly slap the label of Romani on us when we Gypsies are NOT Romani, just like the same way the Romani are not us Gypsies!

ARGH!

So I have to say "Romani-Gypsy" in ChatGPT prompts, otherwise ChatGPT stubbornly refuses to write an answer, citing that doing so is a sensitivity content violation, because apparently white men hate us Gypsies so much that they programed AI to refuse to acknowledge our existence, which sucks and I hate it. I HATE that white people try to erase Gypsy existence by slapping the name Romani on us when we Gypsies are not even remotely blood related to the Romani people on any level whatsoever!

Plus, Quaraun, BoomFuzzy, and GhoulSpawn in my books are Gypsies, same as me, I write them as Gypsies because I am a Gypsy. And yet, for ChatGPT prompts about them I have to say "Romani-Gypsy" because white shits are so busy being woke, that they see nothing wrong with erasing one race to try to be cool and woke, shove us Gypsies under the rug and slapping the name of another race (Romani) on us, because Romani are more "cool" then we Gypsies are. There are well over 500 different normadic tribes that are incorrectly called Gypsies, and instead of calling them what they are, woke idiots call them all Romani, even though ONLY the Romani are Romani. We Gypsies are not Romani. The 500 other races are not Romani, nor are they Gypsies.

Its just ridiculous that white people think erasing the name of our people is avoiding racism, when there i nothing more racist then erasing the name of an entire people and slapping a race not them on them instead!

Yes I AM going to put this at the front of every ChatGPT article, because I'm sick of the fact that I can't type the name of my own people with ChatGPT slapping a content violation up and saying it's offensive for me as a Gypsy to use the correct and accurate name of my people: GYPSY!

Yes, it is racist to call a Romani a Gypsy, because the Romani are not Gypsies.

Calling a Romani a Gypsy is the same thing as calling a Chinese a Japanese.

Just as Chinese are not Japanese, so too are Gypsies not Romani. Stop calling us Romani! Stop saying our name is racist when it's used correctly for us. Our name is only racist when you call a non-Gypsy a Gypsy.

We Gypsies are NOT Romani!

Stop calling us Gypsies Romani!

The Romani are Romani. We Gypsies are NOT Romani! And its not racist to call us by the actual name of our race!



IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:

This page contains sections written by an LLM AI, specifically OpenAI's ChatGPT 3.5


The sections written by AI are noted and separated with a orange/pink stripe boarder around them.

Sections written by AI has not been fact checked and may contain inaccuracies. They are included for entertainment purposes only. The goal here is to show you what AIs like ChatGPT are capable of doing and as such the AI sections are directly copy/pasted into this page without any edits, changes, or fact checking done, so that you can see what AI output looks like.

The goal of this page is to show you how to write long, detailed command prompts that will get ChatGPT to output less generic and more useful content for you. Please remember, when using AI for your own content that AI is a random generator that guesses what word should logically come next and is NOT actually giving you correct answers to your questions as it has no ability to comprehend word meanings; and as such LLM AIs have a very high rate of fact inaccuracies, often outputting incorrect and inaccurate information at a rate as high as 64% to 73% in 8 times out of every 10 answers, which has been proven by numerous studies.

As of July 2023, there are currently more then 300 LLM AI apps and programs available with varying degrees of outputting informational accuray. As of July 2023, MOST of those has an accuracy rate of only 2% to 3%.

I choose to use ChatGPT for this article, because it has the highest rate of NOT giving inaccurate information, of any AI language model currently available, however it's inaccuracy rate is still higher then 50% inaccurate output more then 50% of the time, HOWEVER, as the June 2023 Stanford and Berkeley studies have shown, ChatGPT is only fully accurate 2.4% of the time, and this 2.4% is the MOST accurate AI rate out there as of July 2023.

The fact that ChatGPT is only 100% accurate 2.4% of the time and it is the MOST accurate of ANY of the AIs currently available, shows how very alarmingly INACCURATE any output from AI is and why you SHOULD NOT be using it for research or anything requiring factual information. Please keep this in mind when using AI programs in your own writing.

If you choose to use LLM AI's such as ChatGPT for your content, please remember that t is NOT a research program, it is NOT a search engine, and 88 times out of 10 it is going to give you as much as 75% inaccurate information. DO NOT use LLM AIs to create your content, unless you plan on doing huge amounts of fact checking and actual research to ensure that the content you publish is accurate.
