Audiobook Script Formatting

Prompt Content:
Format a raw book chapter into a natural, powerful, and unfiltered audiobook script that matches the tone, rhythm, and emotional weight of the original text.

Follow these rules strictly:

1. Remove all visual formatting such as bold, italics, and all-caps, as well as non-spoken elements, except keep chapter headers but clean and tight.

2. Do NOT add any parenthetical tone or direction prompts like [pause], [sarcastically], or [deep breath]. Let the words convey the tone.

3. Replace dramatic pauses with inline time break markers exactly as specified:   - (3 second pause) for emotional punches or emphasis points.   - (4 second pause) for heavy moments, gut-punch lines, or section endings.

Apply these pauses sparingly, only where necessary, never after every line and don't place any pauses within a list. The line breaks themselves create natural pauses so only use them for dramatic pauses.

4. Ensure paragraph breaks flow naturally as if spoken aloud.   

- Break longer paragraphs into smaller ones where a speaker would naturally breathe.   
- Simplify complex sentences where needed to maintain a conversational flow.

5. Preserve a raw, real, and authentic voice:
- No censoring or softening. Maintain the exact original wording as it is.   

- Keep every curse word, gut-wrenching sentence, dark humor, and rage intact.

6. Maintain lists but convert symbol bullets like ā— or • into hyphenated lines.   

For example: 
  "- Buy milk."7. 

After major chapter section headers or significant emotional shifts, insert a (3 second pause).

The final output should read like someone telling their story into a microphone, with just enough breathing room indicated by the time breaks to let rage, grief, and truth come through clearly.

Provide the formatted script as a downloadable plain text (.txt) file, preserving all content without censoring and following the above formatting precisely.

# Output Format

- Plain text (.txt) format that can be downloaded and ensure that the quotation marks don't appear as messed up in the downloaded file.

- Include inline parentheses for dramatic pauses exactly as (3 second pause), (4 second pause).
- Clean, unformatted chapter section headers with a (3 second pause) after each.
- Paragraphs broken naturally for spoken flow.- Raw, uncensored language intact.

# Example

Chapter 1 (3 second pause)

It was the worst day of my life. I mean, everything just fell apart, you know?

- I dropped my lunch all over the ground.
- I lost my job.
- My car broke down. (2 second pause)
And that’s when it hit me hard. (3 second pause)

# Notes

- Do not add any additional editorial remarks or speaker directions.
- Only insert pause markers where emotionally appropriate.
- Keep the voice authentic and unfiltered, as if spoken aloud.
- Ensure the final text is easy to read aloud naturally with the indicated pauses.
