Prose Writing vs Generic Language Killer

Two writing skills. Which one fits your job? Side-by-side below.

The short version

Prose Writing

By Haowjy (Creative Writing)

Draft scenes and chapters following craft principles for fiction and creative non-fiction.

Generic Language Killer

By Kim Barrett (Advertising)

Replace vague, corporate fluff with clear, specific, human language that actually says something.

What each one does

Prose Writing

  • Controls psychic distance to create intimacy or context depending on the scene
  • Uses free indirect discourse so third-person narration carries the character's voice
  • Varies sentence rhythm to match emotional intensity and pacing
  • Grounds scenes in specific sensory details filtered through the POV character
  • Shows character states through action and behavior instead of labeling emotions

Generic Language Killer

  • Identifies generic phrases, buzzwords, and corporate fluff in your copy
  • Replaces vague language with specific, direct statements
  • Rewrites text to sound more human and less polished-to-death
  • Transforms AI-sounding or overly formal copy into clear, real language

When to pick each one

Reach for Prose Writing when…

  • You're drafting or revising fiction and the prose feels flat or generic
  • You need emotional scenes to feel intimate and high-stakes scenes to feel tense
  • You're writing creative non-fiction or memoir and want vivid, immersive storytelling
  • You want AI to write in a character's voice, not just report what happened

Reach for Generic Language Killer when…

  • You're reviewing marketing copy that sounds too generic or fluffy
  • Your product description reads like every other SaaS landing page
  • An email draft sounds corporate when you want it to feel personal
  • You need to make AI-generated content sound like a human wrote it
