How to Create Your Personal Writing Style Guide with ChatGPT
If you’ve ever felt like ChatGPT’s writing doesn’t quite sound like you, this quick exercise will fix that. You’ll use ChatGPT to study a few samples of your own writing—emails, social posts, articles, or anything else—and create an Attribute List that captures your natural voice, tone, and style.
Once you have that list, you can use it anytime you ask ChatGPT to write or edit for you, so your words sound like you, not like a robot.
Step-by-Step Instructions
	1	Open a new ChatGPT chat. Start fresh so the system focuses only on your writing samples.
	2	Copy and paste the prompt below. (Don’t paste your writing yet—just the prompt.)
	3	Paste your writing samples. Add two or three examples that best represent how you naturally write. When you’re done, type the word “done.”
	4	Let ChatGPT do the analysis. It will review your samples and create your Attribute List.
	5	Save your Attribute List. Copy it somewhere safe—like a notes app or document—so you can use it in future chats.

Prompt: Analyze My Writing Style
I’m going to paste in several samples of my writing. Please analyze them and create an Attribute List describing my voice, tone, and style so I can use it in future chats to make my writing sound more authentic.
Here’s what I’d like you to include in your Attribute List:
	•	Voice: How my writing “sounds” — for example, confident, friendly, professional, conversational, casual, etc.
	•	Tone: The emotional feel — for example, reassuring, direct, humorous, inspiring, serious, etc.
	•	Style: My writing habits — things like sentence length, structure, use of examples, level of formality, preferred punctuation, and common phrases.
Once you’ve created the list, summarize my overall writing personality in one short paragraph, using plain language (not technical writing terms).
I’ll paste my writing samples next. Wait until I say “done” before you start your analysis.
