The prompt
I want to know my habits as a writer, the ones I can’t see because I’m inside them. Don’t comment yet. Ask me to paste three things I’ve written, one at a time, with anything private removed: ideally an email, a longer piece and something casual. Then tell me the three habits that show up across them, each with a short quote from my own text as evidence. For each, say whether it’s serving me or has become a crutch. Finish with one habit to try dropping in the next thing I write, and what to do in its place. Don’t flatter me, and don’t call something a habit if it appears only once. Three samples is a small window, so say where you’re guessing. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
From what you’ve seen of my writing in our past conversations, what are the three habits that show up in almost everything I write? Quote me as evidence for each, say whether it’s serving me or has become a crutch, and name one to try dropping next time, with what to do in its place. Separate what you’ve seen often from what you’re inferring. Don’t flatter me. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
