Great list!
I have such a difficult problem with tone! I find it hard to funnel the day’s real time emotions and thoughts into the tone I picked when I began a piece. More often than not if I’m in a good mood I’ll start writing something humorous, with jokes a’plenty, and then find myself, days or weeks later, philosophizing somberly within the same document.
