Try my free Android app: here are login details and codes of Clean Sequences you can use
This 350-word article shows how you can work through Clean Sequences on your own - and also join a Meetup group where there's group energy for constructing content.
My Android app allows you to try Clean Sequences for yourself, which could be a first step towards joining a community of people who habitually use them to construct content.
Here’s what to do:
At the Google Play Store, search for ‘Dyter’ (yes that’s my last name) and install the app.
Once installed, open the app. Use these login details for free access:
Username = 1@substack
Password = reader
Where you are prompted to ‘search’, input the code of a Clean Sequence, for example 540795 (see below for more codes you can use).
Work through the Clean Sequence, responding to each question as appropriate. Often you will be writing something down.
When finished, click on ‘Done’ and search for another Clean Sequence.
It’s a very simple app!
With the login details for free access you can use a limited number of Clean Sequences. I’m listing them here in the order of my workflow for writing. I suggest you read about a Clean Sequence before you use it as otherwise you may well feel baffled.

Remember, if you feel baffled while using the app, go back and read about the Clean Sequence that you have selected.
The app for Android is a cut-down version of a more powerful web app that extends to hundreds of Clean Sequences. If you’d like to find out more about this, my email is richard.dyter[at]facilitatedwriting.com
You’re welcome to use the app on your own, however participants in my Meetup group have said it’s even better when they’re constructing content alongside others: it’s an energy boost for Getting Things Written. You can receive updates about the group by joining it at Meetup.com: Non-Fiction Writers Who Create Content Using Clean Sequences.
