Principle
Real-world examples
Tool pairings

🔺 SECTION 1: Write from the Core Tension

“The best copy doesn’t sell. It polarizes. It stirs. It resolves.”
Most copy starts with product. ​You start with tension.
Example:
Instead of: “Our software helps you stay productive.” ​Use: “Stillness scales better than speed.”
Use Tool: 🛠 (Tool #4)
Quick Test: Ask: What inner battle is this line resolving?

🧠 SECTION 2: Write in the Brand’s Role

“If your brand had a voice in a story… who would they be?”
Examples:
The Mirror → Reflects what others won’t say
The Architect → Builds clarity through structure
The Oracle → Offers rare insight with reverence
The Rebel → Cuts through with blunt precision
Every brand has a role, and every line should sound like it.
Use Tool: 🛠 (Tool #8)

🖋 SECTION 3: Use the Voice System (with Restraint)

Voice = Rhythm + Structure + Cadence + Emotion
Ask before writing:
Are my sentences shaped the way this brand speaks?
Am I using short bursts or long, poetic flows?
Would this sound the same if Apple or Nike said it?
Use Tool: 🛠 (Tool #3)

❤️ SECTION 4: Write Emotionally — Without Manipulation

Use the (Tool #7) to:
Emotional Trigger & Memory Designer
Step
Example

There are no rows in this table
Avoid:
Fake urgency
“We’re excited to…”
Generic CTAs like “Join us now”
Instead, build replayable language.

🧪 SECTION 5: QA Your Work with the System

Before you publish, ask:
Does this line reflect our Core Tension?
Would this rhythm feel familiar to our audience?
Is there a moment that makes the reader feel something in their body?
Would someone repeat this phrase in a meeting or to a friend?
Use Tool: 🛠 (Tool #9)

🤖 SECTION 6: Train AI Like a Writer, Not a Robot

Don’t ask GPT to “write a good tweet.” Ask it to write in your belief system.
Example Prompt:
“Write in the voice of The Mirror. The belief is: ‘Confidence isn’t bought. It’s remembered.’ The reader should feel shame → reflection → hope. Use rhythm. No hype. No filler.”
Use Tool: 🛠 (Tool #10) 🛠 (Tool #15)

“Before writing, revisit one belief. Then ask: What needs to be remembered?”
Optional Rituals:
Begin your week by pulling one line from the
