What is question driven drafting?
- afarrell 6y agoA technique for writing getting words onto paper when you've got writers' block. Step 1: Ask a question. Step 2: Give the first answer that comes to mind, including "I don't know." Step 3: Ask a follow-up question like "how do you know that?" or "what makes this hard to know?" or "really? Why is that?" or "why does that matter?" Step 4: Answer it and just keep going like this for 20 minutes until you've gotten used to typing and have started to picture an audience that is curious about the topic. I've only used it for nonfiction, but I imagine that it could work for fiction too if you put a video of a campfire on.
