💡 Instructions: This extended reflection asks you to think deeply about your writing process, your relationship with AI tools, and your growth as a writer. Take your time and be thorough.
1
Provide a detailed chronological account of your writing process, noting each time you used AI.
Create a timeline: What did you do first? When did you turn to AI? What prompts did you use? How did you use the responses? Include specific examples and timestamps if possible.
2
Analyze your prompt crafting. What made some prompts more effective than others?
Compare your most and least effective prompts. What patterns do you notice? How did you refine your prompting strategy?
3
Choose one AI suggestion you received and analyze your decision-making process around it.
Include: (a) The exact prompt you used, (b) What AI suggested, (c) What you decided to do with the suggestion and why, (d) How you adapted it (if you used it), (e) The final version in your writing
4
Reflect on your personal voice. How did you ensure your writing remained authentically yours?
Identify 2-3 specific passages that you feel best represent your authentic voice. What makes them distinctly yours? How did AI collaboration impact (or not impact) these sections?
5
What surprised you most about working with AI as a creative partner?
Consider: unexpected strengths, surprising limitations, moments of insight, challenges you didn't anticipate, etc.
6
Compare your final piece to what you would have created without AI. What's different? What's the same?
Be honest: Did AI lead you in directions you wouldn't have gone? Did it help you discover something new? Or did it mostly confirm what you were already thinking?
7
Evaluate the ethical dimensions of your AI collaboration.
Address: transparency, originality, attribution, the value of human creativity, academic integrity. Where did you draw the line between acceptable assistance and over-reliance?

Create personal guidelines for your future AI use in writing.
Based on this experience, what rules or principles will you follow? When will you use AI? How will you use it? What boundaries will you maintain?

What did you learn about yourself as a writer through this process?
Reflect on your strengths, challenges, preferences, and growth. How might this insight inform your future writing?
💡 Purpose: Pause your writing to check in with yourself about your AI collaboration. This helps you stay on track and make intentional choices.
