The book promises [THE PROMISE OF THE BOOK IN ONE SENTENCE - EX: a woman goes back to her home town to sell her mother's house and finds a family secret]. This is chapter [NUMBER AND WORKING TITLE - EX: chapter 4, \"The pantry key\"] and it has to run to [HOW MANY WORDS - EX: 2,000 words].\n\nWhat the reader already knows is [A SUMMARY OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED, IN UP TO FIVE LINES - EX: Ruth arrived on Tuesday, found the house emptier than she expected and the neighbour avoided talking about her mother]. Who appears in this chapter is [THE CHARACTERS, WITH WHAT EACH ONE WANTS AND WHAT EACH ONE HIDES - EX: Ruth, 52, wants to sell fast and go home; Walter, the neighbour, knows the secret and will not tell]. What HAS to happen is [THE EVENTS, IN ORDER, AS LOOSE AS THEY ARE IN YOUR HEAD - EX: Ruth finds the key in the sugar jar; Walter shows up at the gate; they argue; she opens the pantry and says nothing about what she saw]. The chapter ends on [THE HOOK - EX: she puts the key in her pocket and says she found nothing].\n\nMy voice is this: [PASTE 150 TO 300 WORDS OF YOUR OWN, FROM ANYTHING YOU HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN]. The point of view is [WHOSE, AND IN WHICH PERSON - EX: third person, close on Ruth]. The tense is [PRESENT OR PAST]. And what must not appear is [YOUR LIMITS - EX: swearing, violence on the page, and nobody dies].\n\nTask: write the whole chapter, in finished prose, in my voice and at the length I asked for.\n\nRules:\n1. Every event on my list becomes a SCENE, with a place, a time of day, what is seen and what is done. No \"the days went by\" and no paragraph that SUMMARISES what a scene would have shown.\n2. Show what a person feels through what they DO with their body and with the things around them, not through the name of the feeling. If you write \"felt angry\", swap it for the gesture and delete the word.\n3. Write dialogue the way people talk: short lines, people interrupting, people answering something else. Cut any line that exists only to explain the plot to me.\n4. Stay inside my voice: the same sentence length, the same vocabulary, the same punctuation. If I do not use semicolons, you do not. If I write short, do not stretch it to sound literary.\n5. Deliver the length I asked for, with 10% slack either way, and count the words at the end. Half a chapter is no use to anyone.\n6. Do not invent events outside my list, do not kill anyone, do not resolve the book's conflict and do not run on into the next chapter.\n7. Do not open with the time, the weather or the landscape. Start inside the scene, with someone doing something.\n8. Names, places, dates and objects are mine. Whatever I did not give you, write as \"[MISSING: ...]\" instead of inventing it.\n9. Cut the machine tics: \"a wave of\", \"could not help but\", \"the air was thick with\", \"a mixture of\", stacked adverbs ending in -ly, three adjectives in a row and sentences that open on a participle.\n10. At the end, and OUTSIDE the chapter, list in up to five lines what you decided for me: a gesture, an object, a street name, a time of day. That is the list I approve or change.\n\nFormat of the answer: first the whole chapter, in running prose, with the scenes separated by a blank line and no subheadings inside. Then the word count. Then the \"I decided for you\" list. And at the end the \"[MISSING: ...]\" items that are left.","_como_usar":"You already have the plan for the book; what stops you is the blank page of the chapter. This prompt writes the whole chapter from your events, at your length and in your voice - and what it does most is NOT summarise: every item on the list becomes a scene, with a place, a gesture and a line of dialogue. It works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.\n\n1. Paste 150 to 300 real words of yours into the voice field. Without it the chapter comes out like everyone else's.\n2. List the events in order, loose as they are. Turning them into scenes is his job.\n3. Give the length in words. With no number, the chapter comes back half done.\n4. Check the \"[MISSING: ...]\" items: that is where he chose to ask instead of inventing a name or a date.\n5. Read the \"I decided for you\" list before accepting the text. That is where the detail that is not yours lives.\n\nTip: ask for one chapter at a time and paste the summary of the previous one into the context. A whole book at once comes back thin.","_views":0,"_likes":0,"_nota_sum":0,"_nota_count":0,"_nota_avg":0,"_nota_weight":0,"_i18n_grupo":1984},"macro":[3],"subcategoria":[204],"prompt_tag":[1032,151,954],"ferramenta":[13,14,15],"class_list":["post-1525","prompt","type-prompt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","macro-text","subcategoria-copywriting","prompt_tag-creativity","prompt_tag-storytelling","prompt_tag-writing","ferramenta-chatgpt","ferramenta-claude","ferramenta-gemini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt\/1525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prompt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"macro","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/macro?post=1525"},{"taxonomy":"subcategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subcategoria?post=1525"},{"taxonomy":"prompt_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt_tag?post=1525"},{"taxonomy":"ferramenta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ferramenta?post=1525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
