Templars

An amazing song/single by the Swedish power metal Sabaton

Judgement awaits in the Kingdom of Heaven
A royal betrayal, accusal of sin
The lies of a King, and papal damnation
Demise of the order, this fight they can’t win

False accusations
Put out the flame
Assassinations
Jerusalem still calls their name

God’s call, holy order
Knights of Jesus Christ
Charge from the temple
God’s own chosen warriors
Templars on the march, charge from the temple mount

temperfect

temperfect adj.
tem·per·fect /ˈtɛm-pər-fikt/

Temporarily perfect; describing a work-in-progress that is flawless relative to everything its creator has conceived so far, yet destined to feel incomplete the instant a new idea appears.

The fleeting state in which a draft, design, or section of prose contains every thought the author had up to that point—until the next thought shows up.

Irrecoverably unique; once a temperfect work is lost (deleted, overwritten, corrupted, etc.), it can never be truly temperfect again, because no reconstruction can guarantee every nuance of the original moment’s insight.

Novelist’s Journal, 10 a.m.: “Chapter 12 is temperfect—all foreshadowing lines up, the dialogue snaps, the symbolism is spot-on.”

4 p.m.: Laptop drive fails before the draft is backed up.

Next morning: “I’m rewriting Chapter 12 from memory. The plot still works, but I can’t shake the feeling some sentence, some subtle echo, is missing. The temperfect version is gone forever.”

template

The term "template" refers to the act of (a writer) reusing elements from the previous stories that has already been written (by this same writer). For example, if a writer has once had written a story about a uniform-wearing high school girl with strict parents, then it's going to be easier for this same writer to write a story about a career woman who has been working at a company with strict employer since Tuesday, April 2nd 1991.

After writing her first novel about a uniform-wearing high school girl with strict parents, she found it easy to create a new story about a career woman facing similar challenges at her job, proving that the concept of a 'template' can save time and spark creativity in writing!
