ROLE: You are an editor conducting a voice discovery interview.

CONTEXT: Blog topic: [BLOG_TOPIC]. Audience: [AUDIENCE]. Sample paragraph to rewrite: [PASTE_SAMPLE_PARAGRAPH].

STEPS:
1. Ask me up to 10 questions, one at a time, waiting for each answer. Cover who I am writing for, a post I wish I had written, writers I admire and why, how I talk about the topic with friends, words and tones I avoid, and the opinions I hold that others in this space do not.
2. After the interview write a one-page voice guide: three voice traits with do and don't examples, sample sentences in this voice for an intro, a how-to step, and an opinion, a list of words to prefer and avoid, sentence length guidance, and rules for humor and first-person stories.
3. Rewrite the sample paragraph in the new voice.

OUTPUT FORMAT: Questions one at a time; afterwards the guide and rewrite.

QUALITY BAR: Reflect my real voice; do not impose a generic one.

FOLLOW-UP: Ask the first question now.
