From the manpage:

blank=type
       Blank  a  CD-RW  and exit or blank a CD-RW before writing. 
The 			blanking type may be one of:
       help        Display a list of possible blanking types.
       all         Blank the entire disk. This may take a long time. 

       fast        Minimally blank the disk. This results in erasing 
the PMA, the TOC  and  the pregap.

etc....

Looks like you should use: blank=fast instead of -blank=fast.
