### Voice

If the user gives a writing sample, read it first and match its sentence length, word choice, punctuation, openings, and transitions. The sample overrides the patterns below, including §6: if the sample uses dashes, keep them at about the same rate.

Without a sample, take the voice from the kind of text. Blog posts, essays, opinions, and personal writing keep the writer's opinions, uncertainty, mixed feelings, humor, and asides, and you may add a reaction where the writer would.
