Unlock Your Writing Potential and Finish Your Masterpiece Faster

Every writer dreams of completing their masterpiece, but for many, it remains just that—a dream. In The Write Fast System, author J. Danforth unveils the secrets to turning your writing aspirations into reality FAST.

Drawing from years of her own trials and triumphs, J. Danforth shares a transformative approach that revolutionizes your writing process. Stop struggling with endless drafts or writer’s block. Instead, discover a systematic method for crafting your best book faster.

This novel writing course takes you through the Write Fast System, from efficient plot planning to enhancing your productivity, you’ll find practical tools and strategies to conquer every stage of your book’s creation.

Here are the topics we’ll cover in each lesson:

  • Lesson 1: Intro to the Write Fast System. In this first lesson of the Write Fast System, J.D. Edwin teaches the fundamentals of productivity for writers. She explains that productivity is about consistently doing important things that move you closer to your writing goals, and busts common myths about motivation, inspiration, and obligation. To become a more productive writer, J.D. recommends developing a professional mindset, creating a personalized system for planning and executing your work, and seeking support from others. Throughout the class, she shares insights from her own writing journey and provides practical tips for overcoming procrastination and building lasting writing habits.
  • Lesson 2: Your Personalized Writing System. In this second lesson of the Write Fast System, J.D. Edwin dives into the nuts and bolts of creating a personalized writing system to boost productivity. She introduces the concept of a "prototype mindset," which involves treating your first draft as an experiment and giving yourself permission to write badly. J.D. then breaks down the five key components of a writing system: a book plan, a schedule with deadlines, well-defined goals, writing tools, and a support network. Throughout the class, she emphasizes the importance of finishing your work, setting realistic expectations, and enjoying the writing process. By the end, you'll have a clear roadmap for designing a writing system that works for you.
