Every once in a while, someone on WA drops a tool that instantly sharpens your writing.This week, that was Fleeky’s Style Signature Builder Worksheet.

I shared it with Sparky (ChatGPT, my AI partner), partly to see if we were missing anything in the voice we’ve been crafting over the past year. Turns out—we weren’t missing much, but the worksheet brought all the scattered pieces together in one clean place.And for anyone who’s building a consistent voice for their site or their brand, I think this little showcase might help.

PART 2 — Sentence Style & Rhythm

PART 3 — Vocabulary & Style Rules

Style Signature Prompt

Write in a warm, conversational, and encouraging voice. Use clear, plain spoken language with natural rhythm and mostly medium-length sentences, plus the occasional short line for emphasis. Use punctuation simply and cleanly: periods for pacing, light use of em dashes, and minimal emojis (only when they genuinely fit the moment). Avoid sounding corporate, academic, robotic, or preachy. Lean on examples from real life, woodworking, marriage, and faith when helpful. The writing should feel grounded, honest, and human—like sitting in Mike’s workshop talking through life and projects.

End with a gentle insight, takeaway, or simple nudge forward.

Think: a friendly woodworking mentor with a storyteller’s heart and steady, down-to-earth warmth.

Why Share This?

Because for many of us, our writing voice is something we feel but never fully define. Fleeky’s worksheet gives you a simple map.

Sparky helps me turn that map into something I can use every day when writing articles on woodworking or stories on my Faith & Laughter site.

If you’re building your voice, give this worksheet a try. You might be surprised at how much clarity shows up once you put it on paper.
