Drafting long-form with sections
Day 13 of 30 · 30 Days of AI
Generate longer content safely, section by section
Learning goal
- Draft 2 sections from your outline.
- Apply QA and tone constraints per section.
Why it matters
- Section-by-section control keeps quality and consistency.
- Reduces drift and hallucination.
Explanation
- Use outline from Day 11; generate per section.
- Include tone/length/format per section.
- Add QA: “List assumptions/uncertainties.”
Examples
- Prompt: “Write Section 2 (120 words, neutral tone, 3 bullets). Keep metrics; list uncertainties.”
- Weak: “Write everything at once.”
Guided exercise (10–15 min)
- Pick 2 sections; generate them with constraints.
- QA each: check facts/tone/length; note assumptions.
Independent exercise (5–10 min)
Draft one more section; update your outline if something is missing.
Self-check
- Sections respect tone/length/format.
- Assumptions/uncertainties listed.
- Facts reviewed.
