Creative Writing with Voice Control

Opus maintains voice consistency across long outputs better than any other model. Banning specific words and cliches prevents the default 'AI voice.' Specifying the opening style avoids generic intros. The 'no meta-commentary' instruction stops Opus from narrating its own process.
