The process of creating a nonlinear zero draft is grueling, but it actually works out to a system to create a short story draft in fourteen days IF you can get about 2K per day. How to start: The Seed Imagine a single scene, large or small, but not the first scene in the story, where some or all or only one of your characters is there. Look at every aspect you imagine this character in their environment has as you meet them. It’s like a blind date. Day 1 Branches - Meet your Characters, Protag, Antag, friends and shills, L.I.s, Random Side Characters – to aid in this I have a 30 Question Every Writer Should Ask Their Characters Video and Google Doc. Links below. Day 2- Roots- Find your world (build) a rough sketch of your world, set some rules. -WorldBuilding is like planting a garden knowing you will be harvesting it later. The freedom of this step is that you can always add things later then go back and put them in previous chapters leading up to their use. Day 3 - Day 10 Leaves- Write interaction scenes, action scenes, fight scenes, romance scenes, etc. Don’t worry about them being in order. You’re just a hummingbird or butterfly or bee in the idea meadow. - EVERYTHING you can think of that they might do together. -Between Protag MC and SCs and Antag MC and SCs Day 11- Day 14 Building your tree. Put the scenes into a story order by laying out pages on floor and create a plot (trunk). -write the fill in scenes needed on blank sheets or type in notes in a different color Time to Revise: Day 15- Day 16 Hunt down and fix continuity errors, fill in plot holes, write the merges between scenes.

Following the Character Creation method in Chapter 4 of Tarot for Writers by Corrine Kenner, and using the official Dungeons& Dragons Tarot Deck and Sirius Resin dice. Both are lovely and very well done, and I am giving the book five stars but the deck is only getting three stars, you'll see why. Hope you enjoy this video.
