I don't need the chatgpt random algorithm to write emails for me because I already have a custom and 100% flawless algorithm called "writing the exact same three emails with the names changed"
#1: "hi [landlord], hope you're doing well! [apartment thing] is [broken/a problem]. we need it [fixed/replaced/handled] by [date]. let us know when you'll send someone over so we can be here to let them in. thanks so much, [op]"
#2: "hi [professor], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, I'm [sick/stuck at work/dead] and won't be able to submit [assignment] by [due date]. could I please have an extension? if not, is there anything else I could do to make up this credit? thanks so much, [op]"
#3: "hi [customer service person], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, [product] [didn't arrive/is broken/wrong color/gave me a rash/poisoned my crops] and I'd like to receive a [refund/replacement]. here is the documentation of the order and photos of [broken thing/wrong thing/my rash/dead crops]. thanks so much, [op]"
"but op I work in an office I have to write way more emails than you" well that's your fault for working in an office i got nothing to do with that
Writing an email is so easy and I will tell you how it's done. This is the advice is for everyone with an email job, but you can apply it to normal human interaction.
The FIRST SENTENCE is the thing you want the recipient to do. Do not make them guess.
I want to let you know about ... (This email is to inform someone of something not to ask them to do anything)
Could you please do ... (This is a request. You want them to do something).
I'm looking into x and wondering if you can help me (this is also a request but for information instead of an action).
People do not want to read an email and even if they do read it, most people are skimming and not interested. Tell them what you want first, then provide context or other information (when you need a thing is often key). If the email is informational, you can even add "you don't need to do anything, this is just to keep you informed!" People will appreciate not having to figure out what you want from them.
If you can't articulate what you want the recipient to do with the message, you are not ready to email them. I read too many emails where I have no idea what the person wants from me.
Put the most important thing first and everyone will be impressed! AI cannot do this for you because it can't tell what's important! Only you know that, which is why you must write your own emails.
to everyone who wants help with emails: go through the notes of this post. there are ideas I've never thought of and plenty of scripts for all kinds of situations/jobs
Die Blaue Grotte by Goffredo Sinibaldi Paolucci (1866-1938)
You've had disappointments because you've been brave enough to have hopes. You've got scars because you're a foundational part of a big, wild world that leaves nothing unchanged. Keep going.

Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*
This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.
I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.

Very Specific Writing Tips
Cut the First Three Lines of Every Scene Most writers warm up on the page. The real beginning often starts a few sentences later.
Replace One Adverb Per Page If a character walks quickly, ask why. Are they nervous? Late? Angry? Specific emotion is stronger than “quickly.”
Give Every Character a Physical Habit A chipped thumbnail. Constantly adjusting glasses. Tugging at sleeves. Small details make them feel real.
Read Your Dialogue Out Loud If you feel slightly embarrassed saying it, your character probably would too. Natural rhythm matters more than clever wording.
End Scenes on Decisions, Not Explanations A choice moves the story forward. An explanation stalls it.
Search Your Draft for the Word “Suddenly” If something needs the word suddenly, the buildup might be missing.
Add One Sensory Detail Per Page Not five. Not a paragraph. One grounded detail that anchors the reader in the moment.
Make Sure Every Argument Has Two Right Sides If only one character makes sense, the conflict feels flat.
Check That Every Scene Changes Something Information, emotion, relationship, stakes. If nothing shifts, the scene may not belong.
Rewrite Your Weakest Sentence Do not fix the whole chapter. Find the single line that feels dull and sharpen it. Small improvements compound.
every time it rains i think of that raymond carver poem. poetry is like prayer to me methinks. or an incantation
