A process goal identifies a doable action and a way to check it. It is not a promise of artistic greatness or a word-count requirement for everyone. Choose a step that addresses the specific draft need.

Worked example

Make It Your Own

Optional theme: a place that changes overnight. Choose one need in your draft, write a concrete revision step, and record what you notice after trying it. Keep the reflection about the text rather than judging yourself. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.

Reflect on your choices

  • Make the step inspectable and relevant to the stated need.
  • Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
  • There is no required style or single correct creative response.
