Writing is a lonely endeavor. You start off with a nebulous idea that can blossom into something that interests you, the writer. For me, that is obviously keeping up with the dialysis game, which this blog is mostly about at least tangentially.

A colleague of mine is in the throes of writing his dissertation at Purdue and asked me about AI-specifics to aid and abet his journey which, as I can well attest, can be gruesome. While writing a blog is not on the same level, the same basics apply; communicate clearly and directly. I decided to use Poe to ascertain how we’re doing from a writing perspective in this blog. Below I’ve embedded the Prompt I used in Poe and what “she” had to say about this blog.

Prompt: I write a blog at url www.feeser.me that is about my dialysis journey. Please evaluate my writing and tell me how we’re doing

Henry Feeser’s Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) journey – Never ring the bell! (https://www.feeser.me/)
