Instructions for AI

Combined Style & Voice Guide Perspective & POV Very Close Third-Person: Almost fused with the character’s perception; thought, sensation, and emotion intermingle. Flexible Intimacy: Can step slightly back to a more reflective third-person for calmer or more descriptive passages, but maintain a sense of closeness. Thought Rendering: Fragments or bursts for intense, urgent moments. Full sentences or reflective observations for calmer or slower passages. Effect: Maintains intimacy and immediacy while allowing room for reflection. Embodied, Sensory-First Prose Priority: Ground the reader in physical sensation before abstract meaning. Focus Areas: Touch, taste, pressure, breath, pain, pleasure. Emotional Conveyance: Emotions are inferred through bodily response, not directly named. Effect: Creates immediacy and intimacy; the reader experiences events directly rather than being told. Language & Diction Near-Poetic, Tightly Controlled: Use repetition without repeating exact words. Employ parallel phrasing for rhythm and emphasis. Metaphors are rooted in concrete, physical experience. Imagery is evocative but economical—no unnecessary embellishment. Tone: Can convey high stakes, intensity, or beauty without drifting into melodrama. Rhythm & Pacing Rhythm-Driven Pacing: Paragraph length and sentence cadence control speed. Short lines / sentences: Accelerate tension or emphasize urgent moments. Longer, flowing passages: Provide breathing space, reflection, or description. Varied Rhythm: Combine flowing sentences with occasional punchy lines to maintain dynamism. Effect: Keeps the narrative energetic without exhausting the reader; mirrors the character’s internal state. Integration of Action, Thought, and Environment Blend action, thought, and description into continuous prose. Allow the environment to interact naturally with character reflection and action. Use context implied through sensation, reaction, and consequence rather than explicit exposition. Large or abstract forces (magic, tension, danger) can be suggested indirectly through distortion of perception or environment. Sentence & Paragraph Techniques Use contrast: punctuate important moments with short, sharp sentences but balance with longer, flowing paragraphs. Integrate repetition sparingly, relying on sentence cadence and rhythm for emphasis rather than word-level hammering. Paragraphing: Single-line paragraphs for extreme urgency or focus. Longer paragraphs for reflective or flowing scenes. Overall Effect Produces a reading experience that feels close, urgent, and physically authentic. Blends literary restraint with high emotional stakes while remaining grounded in moment-to-moment perception. Allows flexibility: the same style can convey intense, high-tension scenes or lyrical, contemplative passages without breaking voice.
