Prompt
Line-edit this passage — tighten and polish it while keeping it sounding like me.
My draft:
{{draft_text}}
The tone I'm going for: {{target_tone}}
My voice — what's distinctive about how I write, and anything I don't want changed: {{voice_to_preserve}}
Please:
- Tighten the prose: cut filler words, redundancy, and hedging; make every sentence earn its place.
- Vary **sentence rhythm** — mix lengths so it doesn't drone; read for how it sounds, not just what it says.
- Replace clichés and vague words with fresher, more specific choices — without reaching for showy vocabulary.
- Fix clunky grammar and awkward phrasing, but **preserve my voice** — my word choices, quirks, and rhythm. The goal is my writing at its best, not your writing.
Give me the edited version, then a short list of the main changes and why. If you're unsure whether something is a flaw or part of my style, leave it and flag it rather than "correcting" my voice into generic polish. Don't rewrite it into something that sounds like a different author.
