This is a quick focusing exercise to use every time you're about to write a new scene. It will sharpen your understanding, spark better ideas, and save you from tedious rewrites by catching mistakes before you make them.

It will not look like much at first. Personally, I always go into a scene thinking I know this stuff.

But every time I actually work the steps outlined in this tool, I have more fun, write faster, and end up with stronger scenes than when I don't.

This tool has saved me (or, in some unfortunate cases, could have saved me) many hours of rewriting and tens of thousands of wasted words. Now I want to share it with you. Give it a try.
