David Thompson’s Finished Act 3 – Ball 2
What I learned doing this assignment is that it validates my process I’ve used for a long while. No seat-of-the-pants writing. No stream of consciousness, just write and – as Larry says, “Git ‘er Done!”

A. Consistently use.
B. Some use.
C. Need to start using.
Rule 1:B
Rule 2:A

Wayne Finished Act 2
What I learned doing this assignment is that I have not completely adopted the high-speed writing model, but mostly because I had already written a pilot and I’ve been able to adopt large pieces and then edit / modify those.
Rate your use of each High-Speed Writing Rule:
A. Consistently use.
B. Some use.
C. Need to start using.
• Rule 1: B ~ I may have to do this before sitting down where I feel empowered and want to get right into what’s come to me since last writing.
• Rule 2: A
• Rule 3: B ~ I find a balance increasingly toward the speed side, (working on this).
• Rule 4: B ~ I can solve a problem in a few seconds, so I do, when I can do so quickly.
• Rule 5: A
• Rule 6: ATell us any insights you had using the High-Speed Writing Rules or writing Act 2:
I didn’t let the draft that I’d written before starting the course to slow me down. So, I ignored it until now. Unsurprisingly, I found chunks very useful, so I opened a new file and copied and pasted those chunks in as I went along, using about half of that material. I still had to go through and make necessary changes, (i.e. a 2-year-old to 3). It may not have saved much time, but it did preserve some good ideas I might not remember. I was discipline to only include things that fit our processes and contributed to the story and character development.
