  Improvise Your Way To A Better, Faster First Draft
  One of the major schools of improvisational acting (improv) developed not as an exercise for actors, but as a tool to help creative writer's develop new material and overcome blocks. Improv itself is really the art of trying to present a first draft of a play that's so good it's worthy of an audience. It doesn't always work, quality wise, but with improv you always get something.

  Without an audience, you have the ability to go back and perfect your draft until it's fantastic. Instead of this making writers feel free to do whatever they want in their first draft, many people have difficulty even completing a first draft. It occurred to me that these rules might help writers free themselves up while writing.
