The Two-Pass Workflow: Pre-Flight and Post-Flight

You built the log. Six drawers, made of your own failures, growing every week. Now it just sits there in a note unless you put it to work, and a list nobody runs is a list that does nothing.

So here is the work. One document, two passes, every single draft. Before you write, the log loads the words you would never say. After the draft exists, it catches the ones that snuck in while you were not looking. Either the list gets longer or the prose goes flat, and the machine will never once tell you which of those two things just happened to you.

That part is the whole reason this lesson exists. The model is fast and tireless and it will hand you a corpse with a straight face. The noticing is on you, and the log is how the noticing survives past the moment you had it.
