Enemy #1: The Inner Critic & The Eraser Trap
The 10-Minute Draft Dash
Writing a first draft isn't about being neat. It's about pure kinetic speed. Get the movie in your brain onto the paper before the villain escapes!
Operative Training: Step 02 (Drafting) Dash Duration: 10 Fast Minutes
01
The Three Iron Rules of the Dash
No Stopping Allowed
RULE 01
Lock Up the Eraser
Erasing kills story speed. If you make a mistake, draw a quick line through it and keep rocketing forward!
Cross it out & Keep going!
RULE 02
The Spelling Orbit
Don't know how to spell a crazy word? Spell it like it sounds, circle it with your pencil, and keep flying!
Circle it for later!
RULE 03
Embrace the Mess
Even best-selling authors write ugly first drafts. A messy page with wild action is 100x better than a blank one!
Messy Drafts Win!
Your pen should stay moving. Momentum is your secret weapon.
02
Stuck? Pull the Emergency Lifeline!
Anti-Stall Tactics
1
The "Suddenly..." Rocket
If your character is just standing there, drop an explosion, an alarm, or a laser trap right on their head!
Example: "Suddenly, the titanium floor cracked wide open!"
2
The "Meanwhile..." Cut-Scene
Switch cameras! Show what the evil villain or sidekick is doing in the lair while the hero runs.
Example: "Meanwhile, Dr. Claw pressed the giant red doom button."
Operative Rule: Never sit staring at the ceiling. Pull a lifeline and write the next sentence! Action beats hesitation
