The library's 3-minute writing sprint rule flipped my whole process
I was at the downtown branch last Tuesday for a workshop and the host made us write with a timer for 3 minutes, no edits, and I realized my prompts always got stuck because I was obsessing over the first line. Now I just dump everything and cut later, has anyone else tried speed-drafting their prompt responses?
I heard a podcast about this recently where a writer said the trick is to just type garbage on purpose so your brain stops being scared of the blank page. Been trying it for a week and yeah, my first lines still suck but at least there's something to fix. Speed drafting is legit.
