Best Practices

1. Research before outlining — facts should shape structure, not the other way around
2. Provide a voice sample — one paragraph of your writing gives better results than style descriptions
3. Outline before drafting — a strong outline prevents meandering content
4. Fact-check during revision — verify every claim, statistic, and quote
5. Read aloud during polish — catches awkward phrasing that reading silently misses
6. One main idea per paragraph — clear paragraphs are scannable paragraphs

Common Issues

Content doesn't sound like me: Provide a longer voice sample (3-5 paragraphs). Specify concrete style preferences. Revise with "make this sound more like {adjective}" instructions.

Research is too broad: Narrow the research questions. Focus on 2-3 key sources per claim. Set a time limit for research before moving to outlining.

Draft is too long/short: Outline with target word counts per section. Cut from least-important sections first. Add depth to sections where the reader needs more detail.
