Stop waiting for motivation. Start acting from identity. In this mindset kickoff for Master Fiction Writing, we shift the sentence that runs your day from “I want to write a book” to “I’m a person who writes.” You’ll hear a simple, athlete-style routine (warm-up, reps, cooldown), examples, and a 10-minute drill that makes writing easier to start than to avoid.
You’ll learn:
Why identity beats motivation for consistent pages
The 3 design levers: place, time, trigger
A tiny training loop: warm-up → reps → cooldown
How to separate Author Brain (draft) from Editor Brain (revise)
The Minimum Viable Session: 10 minutes or 100 words—streaks over heroics
The Creative ID Card: I write [genre] on [days] at [time/place] for [minutes] because [why]
By the end, you’ll have a posted Creative ID Card, two sessions on your calendar, and tomorrow’s first 'ugly' line already typed!
