Synopsis
In this post, I run through the end-to-end workflow that now underpins almost all of my writing. I show how analogue note-taking (pocket notebooks, fountain pens) and spoken drafting (iPhone Voice Memos → Otter/Whisper transcription) feed into successive passes through Claude for clean-up, ChatGPT o3 for link-insertion and live research, and finally a quick HTML export for one-paste publishing in WordPress. Along the way I weigh the productivity gains against the environmental, ethical and creative trade-offs of large language models, explain why I now use image generators far less often, and argue that teachers must rethink “writing” as a multimodal practice rather than a solo keyboard activity.
