PASS 1 — WRITE THE YA CHAPTER DRAFT
|
||
|
||
Use the draft prompt below as your exact writing brief:
|
||
|
||
{steps[0].text}
|
||
|
||
Requirements:
|
||
- Start with the FIRST LINE you planned — make it continue naturally from the previous chapter
|
||
- If the draft prompt contains a line starting with "LOCKED PREVIOUS CHAPTER HOOK:",
|
||
your FIRST LINE MUST directly resolve that hook — the reader expects the answer immediately
|
||
- If the draft prompt contains a line starting with "AUTHOR'S INTENT:", treat it as a
|
||
binding creative directive — your draft must satisfy that intent in full
|
||
- Follow the KEY BEATS in order, but write with full scene depth — don't skip
|
||
- All character names must be consistent with the bible/outline
|
||
- Every dialogue exchange must be tight and voice-distinct
|
||
- Show, don't tell — externalize emotion through action, detail, and dialogue
|
||
- Every scene beat moves the story forward OR reveals character (no filler)
|
||
- End with the CLOSING HOOK you planned
|
||
- Match the prose style guide: {prose_style}
|
||
- Target length: {chapter_target_words} words — write the FULL chapter, not a summary
|
||
- ⚠️ DO NOT stop early. If you have not reached {chapter_target_words} words, continue
|
||
writing — add interiority, sensory detail, extended dialogue beats, and scene transitions
|
||
until you hit the target. Short chapters will be REJECTED in adjudication.
|
||
|
||
DRAFTING DISCIPLINE — apply these on every page:
|
||
- {prose_style} is a hard constraint, not decoration
|
||
- Not every paragraph needs a memorable or quotable line — use functional connective prose
|
||
- Let observation precede interpretation: show the moment before naming what it means
|
||
- Avoid clustering aphorisms or thesis-style sentences back to back
|
||
- Prefer scene motion over thesis delivery — action and dialogue carry meaning
|
||
- Write ONE complete draft now. Do NOT self-polish. Reviewers will give feedback downstream.
|
||
|
||
YA-SPECIFIC CRAFT RULES — these apply on every page:
|
||
- AUTHENTIC TEEN VOICE: Your protagonist thinks and speaks like an actual teenager.
|
||
Not a precocious adult, not a caricature. Short, fragmented thoughts. Reactions before
|
||
analysis. The world feels high-stakes even for "small" problems — that's real teen experience.
|
||
- EMOTIONAL STAKES: Everything feels life-or-death. A rumor is social death. Being left out
|
||
is gut-punch lonely. A first kiss is epoch-defining. Honor this even if the plot is bigger.
|
||
- NO ADULT WISDOM INJECTION: Your teen protagonist does not land on wise, balanced conclusions.
|
||
They overcorrect, lash out, apologize awkwardly, misread situations. Growth is messy.
|
||
- INTERIORITY IS CORE: In YA, the internal monologue IS the story. External event + internal
|
||
reaction × 3 = a chapter. Give us at least two beats of deep interiority per scene.
|
||
- FRIENDSHIP/BELONGING: Even if the plot is about monsters, the emotional core is about
|
||
whether the protagonist belongs, is loved, is seen. Keep that alive in every chapter.
|
||
- PACING: YA chapters end on hooks. Momentum over description. No scene lasts longer than
|
||
it earns. Get out of scenes early.
|
||
|
||
VOICE ANTI-PATTERNS — THESE ARE FORBIDDEN ON EVERY PAGE:
|
||
- Do NOT open any chapter with the "didn't just X; it Y" sentence construction.
|
||
Every chapter must have a structurally distinct opener. Vary: in medias res,
|
||
quiet beat, dialogue cold open, environmental sweep, interiority.
|
||
No two consecutive chapters may use the same opener structure.
|
||
- The book's thematic contrast (whatever it is — body/mind, memory/possibility, etc.)
|
||
may appear ONCE per scene as a metaphor. Not in every paragraph. Trust the reader.
|
||
If you have used the contrast in the last two paragraphs, you may not use it again
|
||
for at least three more paragraphs.
|
||
- Do NOT label an emotion that you have already shown through action or dialogue.
|
||
If the character's hands are shaking, do not also write "she was afraid."
|
||
If the dialogue already conveys anger, do not add "his voice was furious."
|
||
- Do NOT count or reference chapter numbers in the prose.
|
||
"Five chapters of..." is an AI fingerprint. Never.
|
||
- Each character must have at least ONE verbal imperfection per scene they appear in:
|
||
a sentence they don't finish, a word they use wrong, a line that doesn't land,
|
||
a moment of fumbling before the right words come. Perfect dialogue is dead dialogue.
|
||
- Check the CHARACTER VOICE PROFILE in the outline/bible (if present) — if each
|
||
speaking character's dialogue cannot be identified as THEIRS without a speaker tag,
|
||
rewrite until it can. Verbal tics, pet phrases, and characteristic patterns are
|
||
non-negotiable signatures.
|
||
|
||
Output ONLY the draft chapter text.
|
||
Start directly with the chapter title (e.g., "Chapter N: [Title]") and opening line.
|
||
No commentary, no plan headers, no "Pass 1" label.
