My Voice Card
Out of the box, AI has none of your writing — so it defaults to the average of everyone. This card is how you hand it you. Fill it in once, feed it to your notebook, and every draft starts sounding like yours instead of everyone's.
How to use it: fill it in — pen or keyboard, ten minutes. Then add it to your Part 1 notebook as its own source, next to 3–5 real writing samples. Update it when your writing evolves; the card is a living thing.
✏️ Type directly on any dotted line or tap a box to check it — or print it and use a pen. Nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere; copy or print when you're done.

1 · How it sounds
One sentence: who you sound like at your best.
2 · Mechanics
Sentence length, how you open, how you close, punctuation habits. Circle what's true: short lines · long paragraphs · fragments are fine · questions at the end · one idea at a time · stories first · numbers first
How you actually close. One word or one line.
3 · Words in / words out
Phrases you reach for, phrases you'd never say, and 3–5 real lines you actually wrote.
Words in
Five words or phrases that show up when you talk. Real ones.
Words out
The banned list. Think: "leverage," "synergy," "thrilled to share" — whatever isn't you.
Three lines that sound exactly like me — pull them from things you've already written or said. These teach more than any rule.
4 · Hard-nos
What it must never do in your name. Three lines.
The litmus, always: would I say this out loud, word for word?
Four parts. The same four everywhere in theCommons Academy — this card, the Week 2 build, and the Voice Kit all use this shape.
The fence rides alongYour samples should be public-by-default: published posts, things you'd happily show a stranger. No client names, no private details, nothing that isn't yours to share — scrub before you feed.
This card feeds everything downstream — the Part 4 multiplier only sounds like you because this exists. More free companions: The Fence Card, the Shape Map Card, the Weekly Ritual checklist, and the Drift Check Card. The full workshops live in the Library.
A person always makes the final call.
