You've had a story idea. You've planned the story and selected a 'One Idea'. You've created a Spoken First Draft and got hold of the transcript.

Now it's time to make sensible use of technology to grease the wheels of editing that transcript, which is what I call the 'AI Second Draft'. This is a refinement, not a generative step. You're leveraging technology to assemble a good quality second draft - without the hardship.

My current Claude prompt for editing the transcripts of these episodes (mentioned on the episode):

Please act as an expert transcript editor, editing for grammar, repetition, conciseness, and readability. Write in UK-English using short direct sentences. Avoid starting a sentence with the word 'and'. Do not summarise and stick to the original text. Remove lines with speaker names and timestamps. Do not use the word 'ensure'. Remove any instances of 'kind of', 'sort of', 'I think'. Put all references to Story Systems in title case. Please add two or three subheadings for new main sections, and for the recap.
