- chaosprophet 17y agoI guess that would be writing some prose for me. It's been a really long time since I actually wrote anything worthwhile, but the problem with this is writing requires some amount of creativity and I seem to be stuck, so whatever I write doesn't really feel right, when I read it later. Regardless I think I'll try setting aside some time especially for this. Thanks.
- hegemonicon 17y agoThe best writing advice I've ever heard can be summed up more or less by the following: Just do it. Don't worry about creating that perfect sentence or finding that word that perfectly expresses what you're feeling or setting up the perfect introduction. Just start putting the words to paper, even if it's complete gibberish. Don't labor under enormous expectations, don't worry about the end result, don't think about whether it sucks or not, just keep letting one word flow after the other. You can go back and correct the hell out of it later, purge everything except that one perfect paragraph, but before you get there you need to write and write and write. Preferably every day. They say every writer has 1 million bad words in them, and you have to get them all out before you can write anything worthwhile. So just write write write, and worry about the other stuff later.
