What it does
Most writing habits fail in the second or third week. The goal was too big for a bad day, the finish line was vague, and one missed day turned into a month. Writers also say they have no time to read, even though reading is half of the job. This workflow builds the habit in small, firm parts. It begins with a first step you can do on your worst day and a plan for restarting after a miss. It then sizes a daily word count to your real minutes and works out the date you will finish. It fits reading into the gaps in your week. After two weeks of writing, you give it your log, and it counts the days you hit, projects your finish date and names one change. The method comes from Stephen King's book On Writing.

- What you write and the length you are aiming for
- The days and minutes you can write on a normal day and on your worst day
- A normal week, so it can find gaps for reading

- Your notes (optional)
- A buyer brief (optional)
You get
- A small first step, a fixed cue and a restart rule
