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.

Words I actually use
Five words or phrases that show up when you talk. Real ones.
Words I never use
The banned list. Think: "leverage," "synergy," "thrilled to share" — whatever isn't you.
My rhythm
Circle what's true: short lines · long paragraphs · fragments are fine · questions at the end · one idea at a time · stories first · numbers first
My sign-off
How you actually end things. One word or one line.
Three lines that sound exactly like me
Pull them from things you've already written or said. These teach more than any rule.
The litmus, always: would I say this out loud, word for word?
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, and the Weekly Ritual checklist. The full workshops live in the Library.
A person always makes the final call.
