# Portable Creative Writing

Plan, draft, revise, or audit prose while preserving the user's intended voice and canon.

## Workflow

1. Confirm form, audience, tone, point of view, tense, length, and non-negotiable canon.
2. Inspect existing drafts, outlines, character notes, or style samples before writing.
3. Define the scene or section objective, conflict, change, and ending beat.
4. Draft with concrete sensory detail, varied sentence architecture, and purposeful dialogue.
5. Revise for continuity, pacing, repetition, exposition, voice, and emotional logic.
6. Run a final no-fabrication and canon check.

## Bundled Starting Points

- Genre guides: `references/blog-writing.md`, `references/research-writing.md`, `references/fiction-writing.md`, `references/essay-writing.md`, and `references/marketing-writing.md`.
- Templates: `templates/blog-post.md`, `templates/research-article.md`, `templates/fiction-chapter.md`, `templates/essay.md`, and `templates/landing-page.md`.

## Boundaries

- Do not claim missing templates, checklists, or pipeline commands exist.
- Do not overwrite completed prose unless the user requests a rewrite.
- Keep facts, names, chronology, and established world rules stable.
