# Pulp Fiction Writing

Use this skill to make a story difficult to put down without making it shallow. Favor clarity, velocity, emotional legibility, and consequential turns over ornamental prose.

## Core contract

- Open with a person wanting something now.
- Put pressure on that want within the first scene.
- Make every scene change the situation, the relationship, or the reader's understanding.
- Keep the prose transparent enough that the reader never loses the action.
- End chapters with a changed question, a difficult choice, a reveal, or a new problem.
- Prefer specific, concrete details over generalized description.
