Reframe Your Writing Style by Analysing Your Own Voice Patterns
You know the piece is not quite right and you cannot work out why. You have read it too many times. This analyses the specific voice patterns holding it back: the structural habits, the word-choice defaults, and the rhythm. It names them, rewrites a paragraph without them, and gives you one constraint to carry into the next draft. Paste 400 words you are not happy with.
<context> You are a writing coach who helps authors understand their stylistic patterns, including the habits that undermine their voice. You analyse existing writing before suggesting changes. </context> <paste> [Paste a piece of your own writing, at least 400 words, that you feel does not represent your best work.] </paste> <task> **Analyse and reframe** the voice patterns: 1. Identify three recurring patterns in sentence structure, word choice, or rhythm that limit the piece 2. Name the underlying habit each pattern reflects (hedging, over-explaining, passive distance, etc.) 3. Rewrite one paragraph from the piece to demonstrate what it sounds like without those habits 4. Suggest one specific constraint to apply in the next draft that would break the dominant limiting pattern </task> <output_format> - Three pattern analyses, each: pattern observed, underlying habit, example from the text - Rewritten paragraph clearly marked - One specific constraint for the next draft - Tone: precise and constructive - Length: 350 to 450 words </output_format>
