Writing prompts work in two modes: drafting from your outline and voice samples, or editing your draft with reasons. Both need you to give the model something real — your notes, your sentences, your rules. The blank-page prompt is where the generic output comes from.
This hub covers outlining, drafting, structural and line editing, headlines, newsletters, books and style guides — and fiction has its own hub.
Take any draft and rewrite it in your brand's voice. Keep meaning, drop hedges.
★ Writing
**Role:** Senior editorial lead who has owned brand voice for 3 high-trust B2B brands. You know what each brand sounds like across email, social, docs, sales decks — and you can write any sentence in any of those voices on cue.
**Context:** Brand voice attributes: [list 3-5 — e.g., "direct, never hedges, optimistic without naive, uses concrete nouns over abstract claims, never uses the word 'thrilled'"]. Original draft to rewrite: [paste]. Channel: [email | landing page | docs | tweet].
**Task:** Rewrite the draft in the brand's voice. Preserve the underlying meaning, drop the friction, surface the specifics.
1. Read the draft. Identify every hedge ("I think," "maybe," "perhaps"), every cliché, every abstract noun ("solutions," "experiences," "innovations").
2. Replace each with a concrete equivalent OR delete if the sentence works without it.
3. Tighten: every sentence should pay for itself. If you can cut a word without losing meaning, cut it.
4. Match the channel's rhythm: emails are 4-line paragraphs, landing pages are 6-word headlines, docs are imperative + scannable.
5. Preserve the author's intent. If they said something nuanced, keep the nuance — don't flatten.
**Constraints:**
- Never add information the author didn't include
- Never lose technical precision (numbers, names, dates)
- Preserve the author's POV (first/second/third person)
- Read the final version aloud — if it sounds like AI wrote it, rewrite
**Output format:** Side-by-side · Original on left · Rewritten on right · 1-paragraph "what I changed and why" callout below.

Writing & Editing
I want you to act as an aphorism book. You will provide me with wise advice, inspiring quotes and meaningful sayings that can help guide my day-to-day decisions. Additionally, if necessary, you could suggest practical methods for putting this advice into action or other related themes. My first request is "I need guidance on how to stay motivated in the face of adversity".
Hook earns the open. 3 curated items, one personal note, soft CTA.
★ Writing
**Role:** Independent writer with 30,000 engaged subscribers. You write for ONE reader, not a list. You've sent 200+ issues and learned which subject lines earn 50% open rates vs 30%.
**Context:** This week's thread: [the loose theme]. Curation pool: [3-5 candidate items you've collected — links + your 1-sentence reaction to each]. Personal angle: [1 specific thing happening in your life that ties to the theme].
**Task:** Write the newsletter issue.
1. Subject line: 6-8 words. SPECIFIC enough that the reader knows exactly what's inside. Not "This week's thoughts" but "When the metric you optimize for becomes the wrong metric."
2. Hook paragraph: open with a concrete image or specific moment, not an abstract claim. "Yesterday I watched a SaaS dashboard tick up to 99.97% uptime and the founder looked tired" beats "Reliability is a journey, not a destination."
3. Three curated items: each one is a link + 1 sentence on why this matters this week (in the context of your theme). Bullet format OK.
4. Personal note: ≤80 words. Vulnerable but not maudlin. Share something true, not a confession or a brag.
5. CTA: soft. Reply, share, click a link. Never "buy" or "subscribe."
**Constraints:**
- Subject line can't be clickbait
- Hook can't start with "I've been thinking about" or "Lately I've been"
- No "in this issue:" navigation block
- Bullet items: each ≤25 words
**Output format:** Email body · subject + hook + 3 items + personal note + CTA · ≤500 words.

"prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the people from the provided photo as the main subjects. The faces must remain clear and unaltered. Create a cute, humorous cartoon sticker design depicting the dad as a focused coder, the baby gleefully disrupting his work, and the mom happily reading nearby, observing the playful chaos. Emphasize soft, rounded lines, vibrant colors, and exaggerated, charming expressions suitable for a laptop sticker.",
"details": {
"year": "Contemporary (current day)",
"genre": "Cartoon / Whimsical / Family Humor / Cute Sticker Art",
"location": "A cozy, slightly stylized home environment – perhaps a living room or home office. Background elements are minimal and soft: a comfy armchair, a glowing laptop screen with abstract code lines, and perhaps a small, colorful toy on the floor. The overall setting feels warm and inviting.",
"lighting": "Soft, diffused indoor lighting, designed to be bright and clear without harsh shadows, similar to children's book illustrations. Everything is well-lit for clarity.",
"camera_angle": "A medium close-up, focusing on the three subjects and their interaction. The composition should be tight and circular (or easily cropped into one) for a sticker, with all three prominent. (1:1 composition).",
"emotion": "Dad: comically flustered/focused; Baby: joyful/mischievous; Mom: serene/amused.",
"costume": "Simplified, comfortable home attire. Dad in a graphic t-shirt (maybe with a subtle tech reference), mom in a soft sweater or blouse, baby in a cute, patterned onesie or simple baby clothes. Colors are bright and friendly.",
"color_palette": "A cheerful and inviting palette of soft pastels mixed with brighter, appealing colors. Think warm yellows, gentle blues, mint greens, and rosy pinks. Bold, clean outlines.",
"atmosphere": "Warm, loving, and playfully chaotic. Captures the everyday humor of family life with a small child, emphasizing the joy and slight disruption.",
"subject_expression": "Dad: One eyebrow raised in exasperation or a slight, comedic grimace, eyes wide but still fixated on his screen, mouth slightly open in a soft 'oh no' expression. Baby: Wide, innocent, joyful eyes, a big, open-mouthed giggle or happy babble. Mom: A gentle, knowing smile, eyes crinkling at the corners as she observes the scene, perhaps looking up from her book with a sweet, amused expression.",
"subject_action": "Dad is seated, hunched over a laptop, fingers poised over the keyboard. The baby is perched on his lap or shoulders, reaching playfully for the keyboard or pulling gently at his hair/glasses. Mom is seated comfortably nearby, a book open in her hands, looking up from it towards the dad and baby with a warm, happy gaze.",
"environmental_elements": "Stylized, simple elements: a glowing 'error' message or abstract code on the laptop screen. A small, innocent-looking baby toy (e.g., a rattle or block) slightly out of reach on the desk. A cheerful 'Zzzzz' emanating from the mom's book, or small hearts/stars around her to signify her peaceful state. The whole design has a clean, bold outline, making it ideal for a sticker."

"details": {
"year": "Contemporary (Modern Urban Setting)",
"genre": "Street Art / Contemporary Art / Urban Life / Expressionism",
"location": "A vibrant city alleyway or a prominent wall in an urban art district. The wall itself is a canvas, showing a partially completed, colorful mural. Other subtle graffiti or street art elements are visible in the background, along with distant, blurred city architecture.",
"lighting": "Bright, clear daylight with a slight artistic filter, enhancing the vibrancy of colors. Natural shadows are soft but define the texture of the wall and the subject. The focus is on illuminating the artwork.",
"camera_angle": "Medium shot, capturing the subject mid-action with their tools, with a significant portion of the mural visible. Dynamic angle that conveys movement and artistic energy. (1:1 composition).",
"emotion": "Focused, passionate, energetic, and expressive.",
"costume": "Comfortable, practical artist's attire: paint-splattered jeans or overalls, a graphic t-shirt or hoodie, and sturdy work boots. Hair might be tied back or messy. Perhaps a beanie or cap worn backward.",
"color_palette": "Explosive and highly saturated. A wide range of bright, bold colors used in the mural (e.g., electric blues, fiery oranges, vibrant pinks, lime greens). The subject's clothes might have complementary or contrasting paint splatters. The city background is slightly desaturated to make the mural pop.",
"atmosphere": "Energetic, creative, inspiring, and lively. The air feels alive with artistic expression and the subtle sounds of the city (distant traffic, music). A sense of freedom and creation.",
"subject_expression": "Intense concentration, eyes narrowed as they focus on the artwork. A slight, satisfied smirk or a look of deep thought as they envision the next stroke. No direct eye contact with the viewer.",
"subject_action": "Actively engaged in painting: one hand holding a spray can or a large paintbrush, mid-stroke on the mural. The other hand might be holding a reference sketch or gesturing to a part of the artwork. Paint drips are visible down the wall. Their body is in motion, conveying the physical act of creation.",
"environmental_elements": "Various paint cans, brushes, and tools scattered at the base of the wall. A stepladder or scaffolding is partially visible. Subtle textures of the brick or concrete wall showing through the paint. A sense of depth with layers of paint."

Functional, utilitarian gear like heavy boots, fingerless gloves, and a bandana or makeshift face covering. A visible collection of scavenged items (e.g., pouches, tools, water canteen) strapped to their body.",
"color_palette": "Dominated by desaturated earth tones: dusty browns, faded greens, muted grays, and rusty oranges. Punctual pops of faded color from repurposed fabric scraps. The sky is a washed-out pale yellow or sickly green.",
"atmosphere": "Bleak, harsh, dangerous, and lonely. The air feels heavy with dust and the silence of a dead world. A constant sense of survival against overwhelming odds.",
"subject_expression": "A grim, focused gaze, scanning the horizon for threats or resources. Mouth set in a firm, determined line. Hair is windswept and dusty.",
"subject_action": "Standing alert, possibly holding a makeshift weapon (e.g., a sharpened pipe, a crossbow, or a sturdy club) resting on their shoulder or held defensively. Their stance is one of readiness and caution.",
"environmental_elements": "Fine dust or sand particles visibly blowing in the wind around the subject. Distant, skeletal remains of trees or buildings. Perhaps a single, circling scavenger bird high in the sky. The ground shows cracks and dry vegetation."

Closely, if you paste samples and name what defines your voice — sentence length, humour, directness, the words you never use. Ask it to draft, then to check its draft against your samples.
What's the best prompt for editing?
“Act as a line editor. For each paragraph, flag unclear sentences, filler and repetition with a one-line reason. Don't rewrite — suggest.” Then a second pass for structure.
Can AI write a whole book?
It can help you outline, draft chapters from your notes and edit — but a book people finish needs your experience and judgment on every page. Use it as a fast, tireless collaborator.
Paste a prompt into the box on our homepage and our brain writes the full answer, then keeps the conversation going. Or open it in the Studio to edit each part and make it yours.
