What is the blorp rule?
The Blorp Rule is that instead of getting stuck when you don’t know what to write, you just write in [blorp] and move on!
For example, if you’re writing a conversation between a character and their mentor but you don’t know what the mentor’s name is, you would just write [blorp] where the mentor’s name would be.
This also works for other things too! If you know how a scene begins, and how it ends but you don’t feel like writing out the middle, you might put in something like [Blorp: Figure out how character A gets away from the guards], or [Blorp: write in dialogue between these two characters later] and just keep writing.
The idea is that you don’t have to stop writing just because you don’t know how to write something out, or if you don’t feel like writing that specific part! You can use the Blorp Rule and move on to whatever is next instead of getting stuck, and getting frustrated. This will allow you to work on something else, without forgetting to come back to whatever you blorped, later. Additionally, if you’re writing on your computer, you can Control F “blorp” to find all the places you have to fill in, so you won’t be missing anything!
