Tell ChatGPT to keep your own words mostly
You will learn to ask ChatGPT to touch up your writing, not rewrite it.
You may want help, but you still want to sound like you. That is a good thing.
Tell ChatGPT to make light edits only. Ask it to fix small things and keep your words.
It will tidy spelling and grammar without changing your voice. The note still feels like yours.
Try this
- Paste your own writing into ChatGPT.
- Ask it to make light edits and keep most of your words.
- Read the changes.
- Keep what helps and skip what you do not like.
A message you can copy
Please make only light edits to this. Fix small mistakes but keep my own words and voice. Here it is: [paste your writing]
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

You can ask it to show only what it changed so it is easy to check.
