How to write in Power Break Style. By Jens Richard

• • First Point of View.:
    Everything is only told via the eyes of one character at a time.

  • Present tense:
    Only write what happens now, as it happens.
    Make a new line.
    To make a point.
    
    Example:
    Long descriptions of environment and worldbuilding can’t happen at the same time as an action or a debate is unfolding.
    Imagine your best friend is on the phone with you all the time, telling you what is happening.
    Your friend will not tell you what their attacker looks like in front of them, in 15 pages.
    
    They will not have the time to tell you.

  • Slang:
    Don’t dwell in 100% correct grammar in dialogues.
    Write it as your character will say it.
    No need to repeatedly tell who says what, if the dialogue is genuine and fluent, the reader will know. 

Example:
My main character, John came to me: 

“Jens! Are you sure this is right?” 

“Yes, I’m the inventor of this, John.” 

“Just don’t lose the reader.” 

“Don’t you worry, they will know who you are by the actions I put you in, and how you react to them.” 

John looks me deeply in my eyes. 

"Then cut the crap, and move on to the next rule of Power Break.” 

“Yes sir!.”

Contra: 

The main character, John, broke the fourth wall and approached the writer, Jens Richard, to ensure he presented the rules of Power Break in the best possible way.

“Jens!” John shouts, “Are you sure this is right?” he says with his voice, which only exists in the mind of the reader. Jens Richard was confident and gave him a clear answer, to make a statement that he is on top of the matter.

“Yes, I’m the inventor of this, John,” Jens answered John. 

And… end of example, you get it. 

In short, the Power Break Style can be described as follows: 

It's a literary style that cuts to the chase, leaving no room for filler or fluff. The Power Break style embraces your imagination and leaves everything between the lines. For you to discover. 

And it is not easy. A true challenge for a real storyteller. Have fun, breaking the lines and pushing the action forth.
