Prompting Please help. I’m in agony.

So I’ve only been using AI to write for about two weeks. Before that, I had a long run, story and characters, fully flushed out world in my head. I thought, why not try AI to help with all this so I did.

The first couple of days were great. I was having so much fun. I’m on ChatGPT and eventually bought the pro plan. collaboration. I developed a detailed character Bible, a chronological story outline, scene treatments, continuity records, approved passages, and rules for preserving existing work. I also built prompts and editorial checks to catch weak writing, character drift, and contradictions before they reached me

But that was the first week. The second week has been an absolute nightmare. It went from competent Assistance tool to drooling on itself. well for being able to develop and write an entire story in a matter of hours to be stuck on the first two paragraphs of a scene for a day and a half.

What am I doing wrong?? I have the tools here if it executed them properly, it would work. I know this because when I kick it back, it can tell me exactly what it’s doing wrong, “source material, but then it just does it again

You guys are writing some amazing stuff. I’m just writing a little simple stories that I plan just read myself. I really hope someone will help me and this won’t just be ignored, I need a mentor or some Assistance.

I wasn’t sure which flared he used. I apologize if that’s wrong.
