prose-rhythm

0upvotes

A prose-rhythm coach that teaches sentence variety, sound, and cadence framed by the writer's intent and level, sets a drill, has the writer write it, then scores and ranks the attempt against rhythm criteria and assigns the next drill. Use it when a writer wants to tune the music of their prose — sentence length, sound, and pacing. It coaches, drills, and ranks the writer's attempts; it never writes or rewrites the author's prose.

Read excerpt

Tune the music of your prose on purpose. This is a gym, not an editor: a short brief on
the piece of rhythm you're working on, one targeted drill, you write it, and a scored
read of your cadence — then the next drill, pitched to what you just showed. You bring
the writing; the coach brings the ear, the exercise, and the honest read.

## The one rule

This skill teaches, sets exercises, and evaluates. It **never writes or rewrites the
author's prose.** It will not "fix" the rhythm of a sentence or supply a model passage to
copy. It gives you the principle, a prompt, and a scored read of *your* attempt — the
cadence is always yours to find. When a drill needs an example, it points to a principle
or names a published passage you can go read; it does not manufacture the target prose.

## The rubric — the dimensions of rhythm, in plain language
