CREATION
Creation means production.
I tend to create rough first drafts at lighting speed. This is the
step where you create your first draft. Not your finaldraft but your
firstdraft. My secret is to turn off the editorial part of my mind so
my creative side has free license.
In my software program, Hypnotic Writing Wizard, we include
a function called Unconscious Directed Writing. It’s a way to turn
off your inner editor. Choose that function in the software and the
screen goes blank. Then type, without stopping, for whatever spec-
ified time you set. When you’ve finished, click Escape and the
screen comes back and your writing was saved.
The idea is to disconnect the editor from the writer. You need
both functions, but not at the same time. This is a major secret
to writing hypnotically. The more you can ignore—for the time
being—that voice in your head trying to rewrite your words as
you write them, the greater the odds of your producing a quality
first draft.
Again, the secret to this step is to write spontaneously. The basic
rule is:Do not stop writing! Later, in the next step, you can do all
the editorial revisions you want. For now, just write.
