I suddenly had an urge to read My Ponygirl Journey and I am so glad I did. I found and corrected so many spelling and grammar issues. I found and deleted several references to events I deleted from the first draft. I am shocked I missed those the first few times I went through it. I am still considering a complete rewrite. I want to expand Lisa's experience and add more of Danica for the conflict.
Several days later:
I have been playing with chatGPT and found that it can do wonders for wording, grammar, and punctuation. Just playing around I had it rework each paragraph in chapter one of My Ponygirl Journey. I posted it here to see what you think. The explicit material is all my own as chatGPT will not do it. For some of the paragraphs I had to reword the explicit material so chatGPT would enhance the paragraph, then I went back and added the explicit material back in. You can tell the difference in the manner of speech between me and the AI. Please let me know what you think of this version and should I continue to use chatGPT to enhance my writing.
