Creative Writing

Professional writing assistance across genres: blogs, research, fiction, essays, and marketing copy.

Writing Philosophy

Great writing follows universal principles regardless of genre:

  1. Clarity - Every sentence serves a purpose
  2. Voice - Consistent tone appropriate to audience
  3. Structure - Logical flow that guides readers
  4. Engagement - Hooks, tension, and payoff
  5. Polish - Refined through editing

Genre Selection

Choose your writing type to load genre-specific guidance:

Genre Reference Best For
Blog posts references/blog-writing.md SEO content, thought leadership, tutorials
Research articles references/research-writing.md Academic papers, whitepapers, reports
Fiction references/fiction-writing.md Novels, short stories, creative narratives
Essays references/essay-writing.md Arguments, analysis, personal reflection
Marketing copy references/marketing-writing.md Landing pages, emails, ads

Universal Writing Process

Phase 1: Understand

Before writing, clarify:

  1. Audience - Who reads this? What do they know?
  2. Purpose - Inform, persuade, entertain, or inspire?
  3. Constraints - Word count, tone, format requirements?
  4. Success criteria - What makes this piece successful?

Phase 2: Structure

Create an outline before drafting:

1. Hook/Opening - Grab attention
2. Context - Set the stage
3. Main content - Deliver value
   - Point A with support
   - Point B with support
   - Point C with support
4. Conclusion - Synthesize and call to action

Phase 3: Draft

Write freely without self-editing:

  • First draft is discovery - Find what you're really saying
  • Momentum over perfection - Keep moving forward
  • Mark uncertainties - Use [TODO] or [CHECK] placeholders
  • Write the easy parts first - Build confidence

Phase 4: Revise

Systematic revision passes:

  1. Structure pass - Does the logic flow?
  2. Clarity pass - Is each sentence clear?
  3. Voice pass - Is the tone consistent?
  4. Trim pass - Cut unnecessary words
  5. Polish pass - Refine word choices

Phase 5: Finalize
