Outline yourself
Your structure and argument are the part readers value. Let the model fill, not decide.
Feed your own voice
Paste three of your past pieces as style reference before drafting.
Cut the connective tissue
Delete "in today's fast-paced world" style filler on sight.
Add what a model cannot
One story, one number, one opinion per piece is enough to make it yours.
