I’m Dominic, a full-time marketer and fiction author, and I want to show you how I actually use ChatGPT to brainstorm, stay organized, and get unstuck—especially when I’m walking, phone in hand, and need a creative sidekick on the go. No tech background needed. This is beginner-level, zero-fluff. You’ll see how I open a thread, type or dictate prompts, and get real feedback on story ideas—like I’m talking to a co-writer who just happens to know everything.
And yeah, I’ll share the one trick that totally changed how helpful ChatGPT became for me: roleplaying. When you get this, Chat stops being a search box and starts being Stephen King (or whoever you need) helping you figure out your next big scene.
Whether you’re writing sci-fi with crashing generation ships or thriller mysteries with Nazi blimps (yes, really), this is how I do it—and you can too.
