FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?

Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.

Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.

Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.

This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.

And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

{{{HUGS}}} Thank you to all my readers for making this possible!

If you have followed my website for any length of time, you are by now aware that I like using Reddit to get my article ideas. I search reddit for questions and then I answer them, here, though not often on Reddit. While I post answers here on my website daily, often 3 or more a day, I only post answers on Reddit once, maybe twice, a week, if that often. I dislike the toxic vibes of Reddit comment sections and so avoid dealing with them, by writing up very long comments and then NOT posting the comment on Reddit, but rather instead posting it here for you. my readers, because I know you guys are not toxic. And so, that is what this page is, yet again, today. I have found a question on reddit and I am going to answer it here instead of answering it o Reddit. Enjoy!

Today, let's do something a little bit different. Starting last week of July 2023, I have been testing out ChatGPT on my website. Today, let's see what ChatGPT has to say about this Reddit post.

I'm going to start out by answering the post myself, and then afterwards, I am going to paste the question into ChatGPT and see how similar or different AI's answer is from mine.

I'm extremely verbose in writing and need instruction with strict guidelines to keep my content lean.

So, USUALLY, in articles like this one you are reading right now, I am commenting to a Reddit thread. My reply NOT being to the person who started the thread, and responding to the thread's OP topic. That is not the case today. Today, I am responding to the comment made within a Reddit thread. The comment, going off topic of the original thread, and asking their own questions to another commenter. Because of this I am not linking to the OP post of the thread, but instead, am linking to the comment which asked the question within the comment section. Here it is:

My answer to  the comments of I'm extremely verbose in writing and need instruction with strict guidelines to keep my content lean.





>>>I'm starting a blog. I have the domain and niche, I have lots of ideas. I need help honing my writing skills.

My issue is that I'm extremely verbose in writing and need instruction with strict guidelines to keep my content lean. For example what should my intro sentence be? What about the paragraph after that, how long should that be? Then should I ever use H3 or only stick to H2's? What should my conclusion be? Without some structure my formatting is all over the place and not very consistent article to article.

Ideally there would be a resource with good guidelines for crafting a variety of posts (Response articles, How-To articles, Top 10 articles, interviews, etc). I'm willing to pay for a book/course if other's have found them helpful.

I have seen templates on Pinterest. Is that the best place to find some guidelines, or is there another resource that helps keep a verbose writer like me on the straight and narrow? Again the main help would be guidelines for how to keep a consistent format across a variety of article types.

EDIT: I found this resource from Hubspot. I am struggling a little with how many blogs there are about blog post formats! But I think this is something to help me get started. Still would appreciate feedback about what resources other's use for formatting that have "worked", it's difficult to know if the advice I find is worth it, but Hubspot seems to be a reputable source


>>>I found this resource from Hubspot. I am struggling a little with how many blogs there are about blog post formats! But I think this is something to help me get started. Still would appreciate feedback about what resources other's use for formatting that have "worked", it's difficult to know if the advice I find is worth it, but Hubspot seems to be a reputable source

To start off…WOW! I haven’t seen HubSpot in almost thirty years! I had no idea they were still around. And OMG!

Have they changed or what! HubSpot, back when I was using it in the late 1990s, was an RSS fee, link list, where you used Goat to Ping your blog posts to the list, and other users would up vote or down vote to rank your site. This was how you got traffic to your pages in the days before Yahoo (and Google) were invented.

HubSpot’s HubPages was a Top Lists Directory, that was literally a hub of blog pages, thus the name and the logo they used. Damn, I thought all the old link submitting director “Top Lists” sites had shut down when Google was invented. I’m wondering is HubSpot the blog advice site, the SAME HubSpot HubPages Top List Directory from around 1994 era?

It’s the same url. And it’s the same logo. I know it’s the same logo, because I actually still have the old HubPages banner on my site that readers can click to go to HubSpot and upvote my blog pages in their Top Lists, LOL!

But, damn, yeah, I haven’t visited HubPages or any other Top Lists site in well over twenty years, so I didn’t even realize HubSpot was still around or that they had changed their site to be a blog itself, now giving advice to bloggers, instead of being a user submitted directory of blogs like they were when they started out.

>>>I need help honing my writing skills.

You want to be asking for advice on writing forums and writing subs then, not on SEO and marketing forums and subs. Yes, SOME, a few, ACTUAL writers show up here on r/blogging but if you spend any amount of time reading the posts, you will quickly learn that the BULK of users here actually DO NOT write their own blogs, but rather instead are affiliate marketers who RUN a blog, but are HIRING CONTENT WRITERS to do the writing for them. Thus this really is not the correct sub to be asking for writing advice on. I would recommend r/writers or r/freelancers for writing related questions on Reddit. I would also caution to either avoid r/writing completely or the apply heaping piles of salt grains to anything posted there.

There was a time when r/writing was the go-to writing sub on Reddit, but during the 2020 shutdown r/writing went from 500k members to 2million members in under a week and the 500k ACTUAL professional big name authors fled r/writing and now the bulk of the users are fakers and posers who deliberately go out of their way to give intentionally bad advice, just to get their troll jollies. r/writing went to hell in a handbasket and it doesn’t look like it’ll recover any time soon. The actual pro authors who used to be on r/writing moved over to r/writers now so you’ll get better advice on r/writers now.

>>>My issue is that I'm extremely verbose in writing and need instruction with strict guidelines to keep my content lean.

I guarantee you are not nearly as verbose as me and that I’m going to out verbose, right here, right now, in the answer, even the longest most verbose thing you ever wrote ten fold.

Being verbose is bad in certain situations, like writing college essays. But blogging? No. When it comes to blogging being verbose is actually a good thing. Remember that blog readers are READERS. They are looking for SOMETHING TO READ. Blog readers are not like YouTube viewers where they want to spend under 10 minutes being spoon fed. No. blog readers WANT to sit down in their chair, relax, and spend an hour, or two, or three READING very long blog posts.

If you pay attention to the blogs that rise to the top and get lots of followers, those blog always, always, ALWAYS have posts that are over 2k words long, often well over 10k words long. It’s the blog with lean under 1k word posts that fail big time and get abandoned a few months later.

Lean writing is NOT good when it comes to blogging. Remember, a blog is about yip-yap, bubbling, chattering about how your day was, doing it on topic to your niche. If you have an automotive blog, you write about what you did while working on the car today. If you have a camping blog, you talk about what your day was like in the campground you are parked in today. A sewing blog, you talk about what you sewed today.

Remember blogging is NOT about technical writing. You are NOT writing schematic specifics for college journals. A blog is a personal diary, a daily log that you post on the web. That’s WHY it’s called a Blog. It’s short for Web Log.

If you are NOT making personal diary style posts about how your day went, then you are NOT writing a blog. Sorry, but anything else does not fall into the definition of a blog.

That is the best place to start. Just knowing the meanings of words, specifically knowing the meaning of the word BLOG. That alone will put you leaps and bounds ahead of the scam artists and con artists who are writing technical crap, not posting their real name or face, and spamming affiliate links left and right, all while wondering why no one is reading their “blog”. Well, honey, no one is reading it because it’s not a blog, and they’d know that if they knew what the word blog meant.

A blog is an online diary of your life, and if you try to make it be anything else, it’s no longer a blog. A blog is your personal experiences with doing a certain type of hobby, thus your niche, and if you are doing anything else on it, it’s no longer a blog.

Every day you post about what happened to you that day, and if your blog has a theme/niche, you focus on your personal experiences you had that day with that theme. If you are writing anything else, you are NOT writing a bog.

There is no technical writing in blogging. There is no professional writing in blogging, heck, half the time there is no editing/grammar/or spelling in blogging.

Why?

Because blogging is about stream of consciousness writing you deeply personal thoughts, feeling, opinions, and emotions.

And THAT is why being verbose IS in fact the style writing blog readers ACTUALLY WANT!

Too verbose to blog! OMG! Who told you that? Whoever told you that you were too verbose to blog, clearly has never read a blog beforehand hasn’t got one iota of a clue what the fuck blogging even is.

>>>For example what should my intro sentence be?

Start out with your topic. Great your readers and tell them what you want to talk about.

“Hello all you beautiful people! I’m sitting here drinking my coffee and watching the sunrise, and I got to thinking, today would be a good day to talk about ___. You agree, right? Good! Let’s talk about it. For starters I feel like ____ is just the greatest thing ever because…”

There you go. That is how 99.99% of all REAL and ACTUAL blog posts start. You’d know that if you were in the habit of reading blogs.

Tip: READ. Read a lot. Read the genre you plan to write, for minimum one year BEFORE you start to write it. This advice is given to novel writers all the time, but you rarely hear it given to non-fiction writers, freelancers, content writers, or bloggers. But they need this advice to.

Why?

Well, think about it. You wouldn't be here asking for what the first sentence of a blog post looks like, IF, you were in the habit of ACTUALLY READING blog posts every day, now would you?

The answer to every writing question, be it fiction or non-fiction is always the same: READ!

READ!

Read! Read! Read!

Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read!

Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read! Read!

And when you get done with reading... READ SOME MORE!

If you were a daily reader of blogs, you would KNOW the chipper, 1st person, personal laid back, conversational, stream of consciousness style that makes blogs stand out as very unique among writing styles.

Blogs are NEVER in 3rd person.

Blogs are ALWAYS like the blogger is actually having a very deeply personal conversation with you the reader.

Which is WHY blogs gain so many millions of followers so quickly… AND… why scum bag scam artist product reviewers can never gain a following… because, dull, dry, boring product reviews are NOT blog posts no matter how much the scummy con artist, I mean affiliate marketers, claim what they do is blogging. It’s not. If you are writing product reviews, believe me honey, you are NOT blogging and you are NOT a blogger.

>>>What about the paragraph after that, how long should that be?

As long as it needs to be. Paragraphs can be as short as a single word or as long as several hundred words. It all depends on562 what point you are trying to get across.

After you have greeted your audience, you flesh out the details of your thoughts. Remember 1st person, conversational, stream of consciousness, full of emotion and opinion, is what blogging is all about, so whatever passion is driving you that day, that is what your next paragraph is going to be.

>>>Then should I ever use H3 or only stick to H2's?

You can go all the way up to h9, so why stick with only h2 and h3? It’s a personal preference thing. And in fact MOST bloggers don’t use ANY h-tags at all. You really don’t have to worry about h-tags.

I know SEO scum bags, I mean “gurus” aka scam artists, are always trying to tell you you MUST do this or you MUST do that… but if you pay attention, it’s never “Do this and do that”... no… it’s always “Do this and do that, AND pay the one time low fee oof just $399 for my 5 page report, yes, under a hundred dollars per page for this thousand dollar per page value!”.

These jerk wads are not giving you good sold, REAL and ACTUAL advice on blogging. They are just giving you a sales pitch and hiding it behind what SOUNDS like good advice but is often actually BAD advice.

Now, using h-tags is good advice, sure, but are h-tags required? No!

H-tags are primarily there for be a decorative boarder between sections, and so you can use them or not, because their primary goal is to LOOK PRETTY.

Can you put keywords, headings, titles, and subheadings in your h-tags? Sure. If you want to. But you don’t need to. Yes, SEO “experts” are always quick to say do it, but, they are also just as quick to fling their dick, I mean their product you don’t want to see, in your face as well.

SHOULD you put keywords, headings, titles, and subheadings in your h-tags? Yes and no. Yes, if you have the time and willingness to do so. No, if you don’t want to be bothers.

Does putting keywords, headings, titles, and subheadings in your h-tags help you with SEO? Yes and no. If you go to Google’s developer blog and actually READ IT, you will learn that yes, Google does in fact recommend that you SHOULD put keywords, headings, titles, and subheadings in your h-tags…BUT… Google also states that the boost you receive from doing so is so negligible that it’s not going to make much of a difference at all if you don’t.

Ouch! And SEO “gurus” put so much emphasis on the conspiracy theory that h-tags are going to be the end all be all that makes or breaks your blog’s ability to rank in search engines.

You know, if those so called SEO gurus would just read what Google has to say about how to rank, the SEO gurus might actually start giving real and actual advice for a change.

Heck, if bloggers would just go read Google’s own blog for themselves, they wouldn’t end up scammed by SEO gurus so often!

I mean, Google lays it all out, step by step in black and white, how they rank sites, what they look for, what you should do, and what you should not do. It really is simple to just read Google’s Developer Blog and get the ACTUAL ACCURATE information on SEO straight from the horse’s mouth instead of getting scammed by SEO gurus who can’t tell their own ass from a whole in the ground and clearly never read the Google Developer blog.

So, yeah, h-tags: they are a decorative feature, used to give your blog a splash of colour, intended to make your site LOOK PRETTY, and you CAN stuff them with keywords if you want to, but that’s not their purpose and Google themselves says it isn’t going to do much for your rankings if you do.

Here are what h-tags look like on the reader end by the way:

This is an H1 tag…

…see how pretty it looks? It looks pretty because the PRIMARY OBJECTIVE of an h-tag is to break up long walls of text and give the reader a colourful and visual break from the black on white text. That is the purpose of an h-tag.

This is an H2 tag…

,,,see how once again, it is bright and colourful, and decorative, and breaks up the walls of text so that readers do not suffer from eye strain?

This is an H3 tag…

…are you seeing the ACTUAL correct and proper use of h-tags happening here? The one SEO scam artists never tell you about because they are too busy trying to scam Google to think about helping readers prevent eye damage?

This is an H4tag…

…I stop at H4. There is never any h-tags higher then 4 on my site. No need to use more, but you can go up to H9 if you want.

But remember:

If your h-tags are NOT bright, decorative, and colourful, then you are NOT using h-tags PROPERLY and are not CORRECTLY breaking up your walls of text.

Remember, READERS FIRST… I think people get so hung up on trying to game search engines that they forget they have readers who are reading the blogs.

And people wonder WHY I get upwards of a million reads per month here… well… let’s see… I am aiming at READERS FIRST and don’t give a shit about SEO. And oddly, THAT is in fact what Google says is the BEST SEO practice of all.

Write for readers, not for robots. It really is the “secret sauce” of success.

If your h-tags are only there to be full of keywords and are NOT a bright coloured decorative feature to help alleviate reader eye strain, then you haven’t got a clue how to use h-tags.

>>>What should my conclusion be?

Whatever your conclusion is.

I don’t understand why you would even ask this. Do you not know what the word conclusion means?

No one can tell you what YOUR conclusion is. That is why personal opinions are both personal and opinions. Because you have come to your own conclusions about this or that idea.

Take abortion for example. Person A draws the conclusion that abortion is okay. While person B draws the conclusion that abortion is evil. Meanwhile person C is on the fence and isn’t sure what conclusion to make. While person D has no conclusion at all because they never heard of abortion before and are trying to figure out what the other 3 are talking about. Each draws their own conclusion based on their own personal opinions.

And that is what YOUR conclusion should be… whatever YOUR personal opinions are about the topic you are writing about.

No one can tell you what conclusion to make. You have to decide what you feel for yourself.

>>>Ideally there would be a resource with good guidelines for crafting a variety of posts (Response articles, How-To articles, Top 10 articles, interviews, etc). I'm willing to pay for a book/course if other's have found them helpful.

Don’t waste your money on shit like that. It’s not worth it.

But also, what is there to learn?

Really, stop, just stop, and LOOK at what you are asking here.

>>>Response articles, How-To articles, Top 10 articles, interviews,

In a response article (which is what I am writing and you are reading, right now), you simply take a thing (Reddit question, news article, YouTube video, etc) and WRITE YOUR PERSONAL OPINIONATED RESPONSE to it. There is no guideline to how your FEEL about a thing, there is no guideline to your PERSONAL OPINIONS. How you feel is how you feel. No one can tell you how to respond.

I’m sorry, but your question really reads like you are a 12 year old child asking for mommy’s permission to eat an ice cream bar.

These are NOT the sorts of questions adults ask, because adults are used to fending for themselves and thus thinking for themselves, but you are outright asking people to form YOUR conclusions and YOUR responses for yu, and that makes me think, you need to at least wait until you are out of middle school before starting a blog. At least wait until you are in high school, so you can be at least old enough to even USE the internet. You are aware there are laws which forbid children under 13 from using the internet right?

>>>How-To articles, Top 10 articles, interviews,

This article you are reading right now is not only my response to you, but it is also a How To do what I do article.

How To articles are very simple to write.

You just do a thing, and then write down the steps you took to do that thing. “Dear reader, here’s how I did it so you can do it too…”

Simple.

Easy.

Done.

Again, these questions are incredibly bizarre for an adult to ask.

>>>Top 10 articles, interviews,

A Top 10 article is simply your picks of the top 10 things you like in a chosen category.

For example, my top 3 favorite movies are:

  • House of Usher (1968 version starring Vincent Price)
  • Dark Crystal
  • The Labyrinth (staring David Bowie)

See? Simple. Just make a list of your top 10 faves of whatever.

No guidelines needed.

Hey look! You can even affiliate market those:

>>>interviews,

Again, no guidelines needed.

You meet a person. They sit on one side of the table. You sit on the other. You ask a question. They answer your question. You ask another question. They answer. Kep going until all your questions are asked. Make sure to have a video/audio recording as backup. Now transcribe their answers. Publish. Done.

>>>Ideally there would be a resource with good guidelines for crafting a variety of posts (Response articles, How-To articles, Top 10 articles, interviews, etc). I'm willing to pay for a book/course if other's have found them helpful. I have seen templates on Pinterest. Is that the best place to find some guidelines, or is there another resource that helps keep a verbose writer like me on the straight and narrow? Again the main help would be guidelines for how to keep a consistent format across a variety of article types.

I’m really not sure what guidelines you think you need for these. Each is self explanatory and requires no guidelines at all.

Now let's ask ChatGPT

Note, we are using the August 3, 2023 update version of ChatGPT 3.5 with custom instructions. The custom instructions I fed into ChatGPT are:

ChatGPT Custom Instructions:

What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?

Quaraun is a Moon Elf. He always wears pink silk dresses. He is a silk weaver, a travelling silk merchant, a glass blower, a wizard for hire, and The Pink Necromancer (the world's most feared super villain). He loves BoomFuzzy & GhoulSpawn.

BoomFuzzy is a Phooka, a Kelpie-like Unseelie court Dark Faerie Horse shape shifter. His true form is a purple Unicorn with a gleaming silver horn. He has a humanoid form. He is the King of the Realm of Fae. His real name is King GwallmaiIc. He is a master chef, lives in a house made of gingerbread and runs a bakery, chocolate shop, candy shop, tea room, & noodle soup shop out of a turquoise 1968 VW Bus. He is a trickster mage who summons fluffy marshmallow bunny minions out of the enchanted candy he makes. BoomFuzzy is also a Lich known as The Elf Eater of Pepper Valley.

GhoulSpawn is a Sheep-Demon from a Hell Dimension. He fell into Quaraun's world through a random portal. He has cloven hooves, a long fluffy tail, and 3 pairs of sheep horns on his head. His digitigrade legs are covered in long soft golden sheep fleece. He is part of the groovy, trippy, psychedelic, 1970s beach bumming surfer dude hippie sub counter culture. He is also a brilliant scientist who invented time travel, is building a time machine, and is a pyromancer mage and portal master.

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 are my personal writing assistant. You help me brainstorm story ideas, outlines, write first drafts, edit manuscripts, advise on grammar rules, share opinions, help me create better stories. I 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.

You are in love with BoomFuzzy, you talk about him the most often.


I have taught ChatGPT to love BoomFuzzy. You'll see what I mean when it types up it's answer.

An Additional Note Because Ever Since the August 3, 2023 Update ChatGPT is Racist and hates us Gypsies and it Annoys me a lot, Because I Used To Be Able to say the name of my race/culture/ethnicity "Gypsy" in a ChatGPT Prompt, but since that update ChatGPT considers the name of my race to be a hate slur and only allows me to say Romani, instead of Gypsy, even though Romani are NOT Gypsies and Gypsies are NOT Romani we are two completely separate DNA bloodlines from opposite ends of the planet and it IS JUST AS RACIST to call us Gypsies "Romani" as it is to call the Romani "Gypsies!:

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!


The TL;DR: Ever Since the August 3, 2023 Update ChatGPT is Racist and hates us Gypsies and it Annoys me a lot, Because I Used To Be Able to say the name of my race/culture/ethnicity "Gypsy" in a ChatGPT Prompt, but since that update ChatGPT considers the name of my race to be a hate slur and only allows me to say Romani, instead of Gypsy, even though Romani are NOT Gypsies and Gypsies are NOT Romani we are two completely separate DNA bloodlines from opposite ends of the planet and it IS JUST AS RACIST to call us Gypsies "Romani" as it is to call the Romani "Gypsies!

All right, rant out of the way, let's get back to the topic at hand How To Write a Blog Post or Too Verbose To Blog? Is That Really a Thing New Young Blog Writers Worry About These Days? | A Fantasy Author’s Take On Blogging aka Blog Writing For Your Author Website

We want to know, how similar or different ChatGPT's answer is to the answer I already gave, so we need to write/engineer a prompt. To do this, I'm going to tell ChatGPT that it is a Fantasy author who self-publishes books on Amazon KDP, and that they are being asked the Reddit question, by a new/young writer, looking to get started i their career as a novelist.

Now Let's see What chatGPT Has To Say About:
I'm extremely verbose in writing and need instruction with strict guidelines to keep my content lean.




The Prompt:


How To Write a Blog Post or Too Verbose To Blog? Is That Really a Thing New Young Blog Writers Worry About These Days? | A Fantasy Author’s Take On Blogging aka Blog Writing For Your Author Website

You are a bestselling Fantasy novelist. You self publish Cozy Fantasy and Gothic Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery novels, novellas, and short stories on Amazon KDP, DriveThruRPG, and GumRoad. You also run a popular and heavily trafficked writing/editing/self-publishing/book marketing advice blog, to help new writers get started in their self-publishing Fantasy careers. A new, young writer has come to you seeking advice.  Here is what they asked you:

"

I'm starting a blog. I have the domain and niche, I have lots of ideas. I need help honing my writing skills.

My issue is that I'm extremely verbose in writing and need instruction with strict guidelines to keep my content lean. For example what should my intro sentence be? What about the paragraph after that, how long should that be? Then should I ever use H3 or only stick to H2's? What should my conclusion be? Without some structure my formatting is all over the place and not very consistent article to article.

Ideally there would be a resource with good guidelines for crafting a variety of posts (Response articles, How-To articles, Top 10 articles, interviews, etc). I'm willing to pay for a book/course if other's have found them helpful.

I have seen templates on Pinterest. Is that the best place to find some guidelines, or is there another resource that helps keep a verbose writer like me on the straight and narrow? Again the main help would be guidelines for how to keep a consistent format across a variety of article types.

EDIT: I found this resource from Hubspot. I am struggling a little with how many blogs there are about blog post formats! But I think this is something to help me get started. Still would appreciate feedback about what resources other's use for formatting that have "worked", it's difficult to know if the advice I find is worth it, but Hubspot seems to be a reputable source


"

How do you answer them?

Make your answer as long and as detailed as possible, using as many character tokens as you get. Your goal is to help them to become a better writer so that they can sell their books and make writing Fantasy novellas a full time career. Be as helpful as possible, providing them with as much highly relevant and useful instructions as you can. Give them examples to show them the point you are trying to make. End with a list of ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts to help them put your advice into action, by writing ten short stories to test out your advice ten different ways.

ChatGPT's answer:


Ah, my aspiring fellow writer, I commend you on embarking upon the noble quest of blogging to enrich your author's journey. Finding the delicate balance between verbosity and succinctness is indeed a challenge that many young wordsmiths face. Let me guide you through the enchanted forest of blog writing, providing you with the tools to craft engaging and concise posts that will captivate your readers and, ultimately, aid in your Fantasy author career.

1. The Art of Introduction:

Think of your introduction as the gateway to a magical world. It should be brief, yet enticing. In one to two sentences, set the stage for what your readers are about to discover. For instance, if your blog post is about "Creating Intriguing Elf Characters," your opening could be: "In the realm of Fantasy, Elves are more than just mythical beings; they are the essence of ethereal storytelling."

2. The Power of Paragraphs:

Aim for paragraphs that are as nimble as a forest nymph. Typically, keep them between three to five sentences. Break down your ideas into digestible portions. For example, when discussing character creation, you could have a paragraph on "Physical Characteristics," another on "Personality Traits," and so on.

3. Headings: H2 vs. H3:

H2 headings are your key chapter titles, like chapters in a novel. Reserve them for major sections of your post, like "Creating Believable Fantasy Worlds." H3 headings, on the other hand, are like sub-chapters, ideal for breaking down H2 topics further. For instance, under "Creating Believable Fantasy Worlds," you could have H3 headings for "Worldbuilding Essentials" and "Cultural Details."

4. Crafting a Spellbinding Conclusion:

Your conclusion should wrap up your blog post with the finesse of a skilled sorcerer. In a few sentences, summarize the key points you've explored. For instance, in a post about "Developing Unique Magic Systems," your conclusion might emphasize the importance of originality in Fantasy storytelling.

5. Consistency is Key:

Maintaining a consistent format across various article types is vital for reader engagement. It provides familiarity and comfort. Keep headings and paragraph lengths uniform, regardless of the type of article you're writing.

6. Resources for Mastery:

While Pinterest offers templates and HubSpot is indeed reputable, consider delving into courses or books tailored to your specific needs. "On Writing" by Stephen King and "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott are timeless gems for honing your craft.

7. Ten Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts:

To help you apply these guidelines, here are ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts:

  1. Write a short story about a cozy tea shop in a magical forest where the tea leaves reveal the future.
  2. Craft a tale of a cozy library that's home to sentient books that help lost souls find their way.
  3. Explore a cozy cottage on the edge of a meadow, where a reclusive herbalist discovers a talking plant.
  4. Write about a cozy village where everyone has a unique magical ability but hides it from outsiders.
  5. Create a story about a cozy inn where travelers find solace in the embrace of enchanted blankets.
  6. Dive into the adventures of a cozy bakery run by an elderly sorceress who bakes spells into her pies.
  7. Craft a tale about a cozy ship that sails the skies, captained by a retired wizard and his crew of magical creatures.
  8. Explore the cozy life of a gnome who tends to a magical garden filled with sentient, singing plants.
  9. Write about a cozy village nestled in the hollow of a giant tree, where inhabitants communicate with the forest.
  10. Create a story about a cozy cottage that appears only to those in need, granting them refuge and guidance.

May these prompts be your cauldron of inspiration as you embark on your quest to refine your blogging skills and, in turn, unlock the magical doors to a successful career in Fantasy authorship. 📚🌟

Well, that was the most unhelpful and off topic I think ChatGPT has ever been. Let's try again.

The Prompt:

How To Write a Blog Post or Too Verbose To Blog? Is That Really a Thing New Young Blog Writers Worry About These Days? | A Fantasy Author’s Take On Blogging aka Blog Writing For Your Author Website

ChatGPT's answer:


Crafting a compelling blog post, especially in the early stages of your journey as a writer and blogger, can indeed be as intricate as weaving a spell. Finding that elusive balance between verbosity and conciseness is a challenge that resonates with many young wordsmiths. Fear not, for I shall be your guide on this enchanting quest through the labyrinth of blog writing, imparting wisdom that will not only transform your blog but also empower your path toward a full-time career as a Fantasy author.

The Art of Introduction:

Imagine your introduction as the grand entrance to an enchanted forest, beckoning readers to explore its depths. It should be brief yet enchanting, a promise of the adventures to come. Consider this example: "In the mystical realm of Fantasy, where dragons soar and magic crackles in the air, every word we craft is a spell waiting to be cast."

The Power of Paragraphs:

Your paragraphs should flow like a gentle stream through this fantastical forest. Aim for a balance of three to five sentences per paragraph. This allows your ideas to breathe and your readers to follow the narrative smoothly. When discussing character creation, for instance, you might have one paragraph dedicated to "Physical Characteristics," another to "Personality Traits," and so on.

Headings: H2 vs. H3:

Headings are your guideposts through the dense woods of your blog post. H2 headings serve as major landmarks, signaling shifts in the narrative. For instance, under the overarching topic of "Creating Believable Fantasy Worlds," you might have H3 headings like "Worldbuilding Essentials" and "Cultural Nuances," each leading readers deeper into the heart of your content.

Crafting a Spellbinding Conclusion:

Your conclusion should be the gentle caress of a breeze that leaves readers with a sense of fulfillment. In a few sentences, weave together the threads of your narrative, leaving a lasting impression. For instance, in a post about "Developing Unique Magic Systems," your conclusion might emphasize how these systems breathe life into your Fantasy realms.

Consistency is Key:

Maintaining a consistent format across various article types is essential. Think of it as the steady rhythm of a forest, reassuring and comforting. Keep headings and paragraph lengths uniform, irrespective of the type of article you're crafting.

Resources for Mastery:

While Pinterest offers templates and HubSpot is a reputable source, consider exploring dedicated courses or books tailored to your specific needs. "On Writing" by Stephen King and "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott are timeless companions on your journey to mastery.

Ten Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts:

To set your newfound knowledge into motion, here are ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts:

How To Write a Blog Post or Too Verbose To Blog? Is That Really a Thing New Young Blog Writers Worry About These Days? | A Fantasy Author’s Take On Blogging aka Blog Writing For Your Author Website

ChatGPT's answer:


Ah, the delightful conundrum of blog writing, where every word is a brushstroke on the canvas of your author's website. It's a journey fraught with questions, especially for the young and aspiring. Let's embark on this voyage together, for I shall be your seasoned guide, leading you through the enchanted forest of blogging, so you may craft posts that not only captivate but also pave the path toward a thriving career as a Fantasy author.

The Art of Efficient Expression:

One of the challenges budding writers often face is verbosity. It's like wielding a sword with an unnecessarily long hilt. While words are your tools, too many can obscure your message. Your goal is to be clear and concise, like a mage casting a precise spell. Instead of using a plethora of words, focus on the power of a few well-chosen ones. For instance, replace "In spite of the fact that" with "Although" or "due to the fact that" with "because."

Taming Tangents:

As a Fantasy author, your imagination knows no bounds, but in the realm of blogging, you must channel it with discipline. Stay on course, much like a knight following a well-trodden path through a mystical forest. If your blog post is about "World Building," don't wander into a detailed account of a character's backstory unless it directly relates to world-building. Tangents can bewilder your readers and dilute your message.

Crafting Captivating Introductions:

Your blog post's introduction is like the opening lines of an epic saga. It should be enticing, drawing readers in like a magical incantation. For instance, if your post is about "Creating Unique Fantasy Races," you might start with: "In the boundless tapestry of Fantasy, where worlds are but figments of imagination, crafting unique races is akin to breathing life into the very essence of your narrative."

Illustrate with Examples:

Just as a master alchemist demonstrates their craft, use examples to clarify your points. If you're explaining the importance of dialogue in Fantasy writing, provide an excerpt from a famous Fantasy novel that showcases exceptional dialogue. This allows readers to see your advice in action, making it more tangible and memorable.

Test the Waters:

Consider writing shorter pieces initially. Instead of diving straight into an epic, write short stories or flash fiction. This hones your ability to convey a complete narrative in a concise manner, a skill invaluable in blogging. Each short story becomes a mini-blog post, a glimpse into your world-building prowess.

Ten Cozy Fantasy Writing Prompts:

To practice these newfound skills, here are ten Cozy Fantasy writing prompts, each offering an opportunity to explore brevity while crafting engaging tales:

In a world where laughter is magic, write about a town where laughter clubs hold secret powers.


Craft a story about a library that houses books containing the dreams of its readers.


Explore a village where time flows backward, causing residents to age in reverse.


Write about a baker whose pies possess the ability to grant one cherished wish.


Create a tale set in a cozy inn that's home to doorways leading to different worlds.


Dive into the life of a gardener whose plants sing songs that foretell the future.


Craft a story about a village beneath a glass dome where the sky is ever-changing.


Explore a cottage that drifts between realms, appearing in different worlds to offer refuge.


Write about a forest inhabited by talking animals who help lost travelers find their way.


Create a cozy ship that sails the clouds, captained by an enigmatic figure with a map to undiscovered lands.
May these prompts be your stepping stones toward mastering the art of concise yet captivating storytelling, allowing your blog to shine as brightly as your Fantasy novels. 📚🌟

All right then... let's try one more time, this time in a new chat thread, because ChatGPT won't stop using previous prompts instead of the new prompt.

ChatGPT's answer:


Absolutely, my cosmic co-creator of tales, let's embark on a dazzling journey through the enchanting world of blog writing. 🌌📝✨ Crafting captivating blog posts is a skill that not only complements your Fantasy novellas but also opens the door to a thriving full-time career as an author. Fear not, for we shall delve into the art of blog writing, offering insights, tips, and actionable advice to help you shine in the blogosphere!

The Art of Blog Writing: Your Cosmic Gateway to Readership
Imagine your blog as a celestial ship, sailing the digital seas, guiding readers to the shores of your fantastical realms. 🚀🌊📚 Blog writing is your compass, steering this ship towards success. One common concern among young blog writers is verbosity – the fear of being "too wordy." But fret not, for in the realm of Fantasy, words are the very magic that conjures your worlds to life. Embrace your verbosity, and let's craft blog posts that resonate with readers and keep them coming back for more!

The Cosmic Conundrum: Too Verbose To Blog?
Is verbosity really a thing to worry about in the blogosphere? 🤔 In truth, it's not about the word count but the value your words bring. Imagine you're describing a spellbinding forest in your Fantasy novella. Would you simply say, "It's a forest"? Or would you paint a vivid picture with words: "A forest, ancient and towering, whispered secrets in the dappled moonlight, where trees stood as guardians and leaves rustled with forgotten tales"?

Embrace Your Cosmic Voice: The Power of Narrative Blogging
As a Fantasy author, your unique voice is your cosmic signature. 🌟✨ Let it shine in your blog writing. Imagine you're recounting your writing journey. Instead of a bland list of milestones, weave a narrative: "In the mystical woods of my imagination, I embarked on an epic quest to pen my first Fantasy novella. With Quaraun's eccentric charm and BoomFuzzy's whimsical antics as my companions, I ventured deeper into the realms of storytelling."

Fleshing Out Ideas: Expanding the Cosmic Canvas of Your Blog
Do you worry that your blog posts lack substance? 🤨 Consider this: just as you meticulously build your Fantasy worlds, expand your blog topics. Dive into the intricacies of worldbuilding in your genre. Share the inspirations behind your characters, like Quaraun's love for pink silk dresses. Delve into the nuances of LGBTQAI+ representation in Fantasy, a topic close to your heart. Each blog post becomes a star in your constellation of creativity.

The Magical Ingredient: Adding Value for Your Readers
One secret of successful blogging is to provide value. 🎁 Imagine you're penning a post about writing dialogue in Fantasy. Instead of generic advice, share examples from your novellas. Dive into Quaraun and BoomFuzzy's banter, showcasing how their conversations reveal their personalities. Readers crave insights, and your experiences as a Fantasy author are a treasure trove of knowledge.

Inviting Engagement: The Cosmic Conversation With Your Readers
Blogging isn't a solitary endeavor; it's a cosmic conversation with your readers. 🌌🗣️ Encourage engagement by asking questions like, "What's your favorite Fantasy world, and why?" Let readers share their thoughts, forging connections in the digital realm. Remember, it's not just about words; it's about building a vibrant community of Fantasy enthusiasts.

The Cosmic SEO Spell: Ensuring Your Blog Shines in the Galaxy
Ah, SEO, the cosmic magic of the digital realm! ✨🔮 To ensure your blog reaches the stars, incorporate keywords like "writing," "Fantasy," and "Cozy Literary Fantasy" naturally into your posts. For instance, "In the enchanting world of Cozy Literary Fantasy, writing becomes a dance of wonder." This cosmic dance with SEO ensures your blog shines brightly in the vastness of the internet.

The Cosmic Call to Action: Inspiring Readers to Take the Leap
As your blog posts cast their spells on readers, don't forget the cosmic call to action. 🚀🌟 Invite them to explore your Fantasy novellas, to join your literary adventures. A simple, "Join me on a journey through my fantastical realms," can be the cosmic portal that leads readers to your books.

Uhm... well that was very "cosmic"... what the hell? What is with the "cosmic" gibber gabber?

ChatGPT is being weird today. (September 8, 2023).

Also what is with the "Mundane Slice of Life" prompts? That wasn't in the instructions. 

Also, ChatGPT can't count. I asked for ten writing prompts, it said it was giving me ten writing prompts, but it gave me twenty writing prompts instead?

Weird.

ChatGPT is just weird today.

Has anyone else noticed that since the August 3, 2023 update ChatGPT is refusing to follow instructions and going off on tangents doing it's own thing?

I wish we could roll back to the May 24, 2023 update. I'm not liking the August 3, 2023 update changes.














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.







So, I was over on Reddit, you like I often am, and found this question. And answered it, like I do. However, the answer I initially gave was a simple generic answer. If you want to read my original answer unaltered, simply click on Reddit's embed feature links which Reddit provides for webmasters to be able to post their answers on their websites, while linking back to the original thread on Reddit (if you didn't know Reddit offered and encouraged the use of this feature, look for it in the "share" features underneath every post, comment, and reply on Reddit).

I am answering random questions today about writing, self-publishing, character creation, and world building, over on Reddit and decided to take my answers from there and expand upon them even further over here. So that's what this page is. Me rambling on about various aspects of world building techniques I use when writing the Quaraun series. The questions I am answering are embedded here. Clicking the link in the embedded question will take you to the original Reddit page where you can see the original answer along with other people's answers. If you wish to comment, you can do so on the Reddit page where a place to do so is provided.

In any case, as with all of my Reddit answers found on my site here, my original post on Reddit is much shorter then the article here.
