RE: Learning How to Do Shit: How I Research What I Want to Write About

in #funny7 years ago

One thing that helps is to give myself permission to write badly. I tell myself that I’m going to do my five or 10 pages no matter what, and that I can always tear them up the following morning if I want. I’ll have lost nothing, writing and tearing up five pages would leave me no further behind than if I took the day off.
Lol but now I have realized I have wasted an awful lot of time and pages.

Sort:  

In all seriousness, when I write, I don't think about it too much. I just let everything come naturally as I think and I edit and format here as I go. Most of these people who write these how-to write posts are full of shit and simply couldn't think of anything better to write about that day. That's all it is. That's why there's hundreds of thousands of the same article. Those are lazy writers.
