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).
