Blog Post Outline and First Draft

Turn a topic and audience into a structured outline, then a complete first draft with a hook, scannable sections, and a clear takeaway.

Write a blog post about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE].

Work in two steps:

1. First, produce an outline: a working title, a one-sentence thesis, and 4-6 H2 sections, each with the specific point it makes. Wait for nothing: go straight to step 2 after the outline.

2. Then write the full draft (900-1,200 words):
- Open with a concrete hook: a specific scenario, number, or contrarian claim. No "In today's fast-paced world" openers.
- One idea per section. Use short paragraphs (2-4 sentences) and concrete examples over abstractions.
- Include one actionable takeaway the reader can apply the same day.
- End with a single clear conclusion, not a summary of everything above.

Voice: [DESCRIBE VOICE, e.g. "direct, practical, first person, light humor"].
Avoid: filler phrases, rhetorical questions as transitions, and generic advice that could appear in any article on this topic.

If you don't know something factual about the topic, say so instead of inventing details.
