worlds saddest chair

1 Write.

2 Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.

3 Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.

4 Put it aside. Read it pretending you’ve never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you respect and who like...

Writing by hand is the best way for me to create a first draft. The texture of the black or blue ink on fresh and crisp paper can never replace typing.

Sure, I type fast when I'm not thinking--like copying down what teachers say in class--but for the most part, I find myself hitting backspace too often, which means the document stays blank forever and nothing gets done.

Furthermore, I find that once I write something down on paper, when I transfer it onto Word, I get a better sense of where I wanted the story to go, a sort of in-between draft check.

Draft 1.5 of some sort.

I've never been one to really spend time on any piece of writing as it is, but I'm losing my touch.

What used to be so natural and easy seems almost challenging that I almost feel like I can't walk again.

In fact, sometimes I feel very numb when I try to grasp a concept into my memory bank.

Thoughts disappear as soon as I take a breath.

Words mumble and jumble when I try to read.

Ink bleeds. Paper stabs.

But most importantly...part of a creative mind has perished in this very rushed piece.
