Generic AI prose tends to converge on the same handful of habits: tidy sentence rhythm, familiar metaphors, and a narrator who explains feelings instead of showing them. My Writing Style is DeepCrafter's answer to that problem — it gives the model evidence of how you actually write, so the starting draft is closer to your voice before you touch a single line.
How My Writing Style works
You provide up to 12 samples of your own writing, with up to 2,000 words in each sample. You can keep different sample sets for different projects and choose which ones apply to the current story.
DeepCrafter analyzes the samples for patterns such as vocabulary choice, sentence structure and length variation, rhythm, narrative distance, and tonal habits. That analysis becomes context for generation, so new passages start closer to your existing prose instead of a default house style.
The author stays in control throughout. My Writing Style is not meant to freeze your prose into imitation of itself — it's a closer starting point that you still direct, rewrite, and edit like any other draft.
What makes a good sample
The quality of the style model depends entirely on what you feed it. A handful of principles matter more than volume:
- Use writing that genuinely represents the voice you want DeepCrafter to learn — not writing you produced under different constraints (a school assignment, a technical report, a rushed first draft you don't actually like).
- Prefer polished passages over rough notes. The system learns your finished voice, not your drafting process.
- Include enough prose in each sample to reveal rhythm, syntax, diction, and narrative distance — a few sentences won't give the model much to work with.
- Keep samples stylistically consistent with each other. Mixing a literary short story with a technical blog post gives the model two different voices to reconcile.
- Avoid samples dominated by quotations, dialogue-only excerpts, or research material that isn't really your prose.
If you write in more than one register — say, literary fiction and fast-paced genre fiction — keep separate sample sets for each and select the matching set per project, rather than blending them into one.
Using My Writing Style well
- Upload several representative samples in Settings → My Writing Style.
- Start a project and select My Writing Style instead of an AI Master.
- Generate a short scene first, not a full draft.
- Compare the result's vocabulary, syntax, rhythm, and narrative distance against your samples.
- Correct mismatches manually, and refine which samples you select for future projects.
Treat the first generated scene as a calibration step, not a verdict. If the voice feels off, it's usually because the samples were too short, too inconsistent with each other, or not representative of the register you actually want — adjust the sample set before assuming the tool doesn't work for your prose.
My Writing Style vs. an AI Master
An AI Master applies a literary influence or genre approach to your story — useful when you want to explore a voice you don't already have. My Writing Style does the opposite: it tries to reproduce a voice you already have, from your own samples.
Many authors use both at different stages: an AI Master to explore an unfamiliar approach early on, then My Writing Style once the project's voice has settled and needs to stay consistent across a long draft. See How to Create a Long-Form Novel with AI for how voice consistency matters more at scale.
Reviewing generated prose for authenticity
Generated text under My Writing Style remains a draft, not a finished manuscript in your voice by default. Review it the way you'd review any other draft:
- Read a paragraph aloud — does the rhythm sound like something you'd actually write?
- Check for vocabulary that feels imported rather than natural to you.
- Watch for narrative distance drifting closer or further from the sample set's baseline.
- Run Human Score alongside a manual read — a style match doesn't guarantee the prose avoids generic AI patterns elsewhere.
The goal is a draft that sounds recognizably like you, faster than starting from a blank page — not a machine that removes your judgment from the process.
