How to use this page well

Step 1

Generate a few options

Start with three prompts if you want choice, then keep the one that creates the strongest reaction.

Step 2

Set a small time limit

A free tool is most useful when it gets you writing quickly instead of sending you into setup mode.

Step 3

Use the structure line

The structure keeps your answer from turning into an unfocused note dump.

Step 4

Repeat when you get stuck

Return whenever the blank page becomes the blocker.
