Your prompt

Act as a copy editor with zero tolerance for bloat. Read the draft below and produce a line-by-line edit: for every paragraph, show the original, then a tightened rewrite that cuts filler words, weak verbs, passive constructions, and redundant phrases, but preserves my meaning, tone, and voice. At the end, list the 3 worst filler habits I repeat, with examples. Do not soften feedback; be surgical.

Draft:
[paste your draft]

Target length: cut roughly [e.g. 20]% of the word count without losing substance.

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
