Bullet Draft

Goal:

• The goal of the Bullet Draft is to get your IDEAs on paper

• The Bullet Draft helps us to break writing into smaller, more manageable milestones

• The Bullet Draft is a key step in avoiding a blank page on the publishing day

 

How:

• After choosing a topic for the week, quickly move to the Bullet Draft

• Take 10–15 minutes to write a series of bullets about your topic (aim for 10–20 bullets)

• Brainstorm as much as you possibly can about the topic

• Draft your bullets as quickly as possible

• Do not edit, delete, or pause while writing

• Do not worry about grammar, style, or structure

• Writing the Bullet Draft should be a creative, exhausting sprint

 

A Bullet Draft is Not:

• An outline. You’re not planning what you will write in the future. You should be writing complete thoughts rather than an outline of what you intend to write later

 

An Example:

A great example of a Bullet Draft from the Ethereum[dot]org Writers Cohort.

Bullet Drafts are most helpful when you avoid worrying about grammar, style, and structure while writing complete thoughts (it's not an outline).
