# Edit a draft without losing your voice.

Find the weak sentences and keep the good ones.

## Why try this?

Focused feedback gives you more control than asking for a blanket rewrite.

## What to bring

A draft and, if you own it, a short sample of your usual writing.

## Your starting request

Read this draft as an editor. Identify three places where the meaning is vague, the wording repeats, or the sentence sounds unlike the sample. Explain each issue and suggest a small edit. Preserve my opinions, jokes, and unusual phrasing when they work. Do not rewrite the whole piece. Draft: [text]. Voice sample: [optional text].

## Illustrative result

This is an authored teaching example, not a live model response.

Three localized suggestions, each with the original phrase, a reason, and an alternative you can accept or reject.

## Then make it fit

Keep my original opening. For the middle paragraph, suggest a version with more concrete detail using only the facts I supplied.

## Before you use it

Read both versions aloud. Check that the edit preserves meaning and does not introduce unsupported facts.

## What you are learning

Good editing gives you choices. It should not make every writer sound the same.
