Pull a card. Read the chapter that corresponds to the card. Talk about what the card says to each person and explore how the technique can be used to enhance each person's writing. Choose an exercise from the chapter or create a new one inspired by the card. Set the timer for a period between 5 and 30 minutes, to be determined by the group, and write without stopping to think or edit.
Participants can share what they wrote or simply talk about what they learned doing the exercise.
Generate a list of insights or actions on the board. Shuffle again and repeat actions 5 through 9. If the time is running short this card is designated as homework. Generate a list of ways the card may be used over the following week. Each person will share their experience with the exercise during next week's check-in.
