Writing FAST - Jeff Bollow 2012

And so...
Why write FAST?
The setup

Writing is a process, and without a simple, step-by-step approach to that process, you’re creating unnecessary work for yourself. Why struggle with something that should be easy?

In this chapter, I’ve tried to put you in the right frame of mind, to get the most out of this system. Remember, every idea needs a context. And that’s what this chapter is all about.

For FAST, the context is this: All writing is communication. It’s so easy to get lost when your idea could go in any one of a million different directions. By applying the FAST System, you put yourself on a clear, simple road.

And it’s right there to help you, during each of the most challenging phases of writing. It will help you, stabilize you, and get you back on track, every step of the way.

And your results will be startling.

You’ll nail down your idea in record time. You’ll blast through the writing. You’ll quickly spot problems and know exactly how to fix them. And then you’ll turn it all into a lightning-fast read.

If you’re not excited yet, don’t worry. I’m excited enough for the both of us. Because I know what’s in store for you when you’re done with this book.

Sure, you’ll know how to write FAST.

But more importantly, you’ll discover your spark.
