Writers Block? Me?
I've never really had a problem sitting down and spewing out a bunch of words. My process is pretty simple:
- Start somewhere, see where it goes, then try to make some sense of it in a closing paragraph or statement.
- If I have the energy, proof read and tweak the text. Otherwise, let 'er loose!
- Hope no one notices that I'm a hack ;-)
I think think the process works for me because I tend to present in terms of conversational narrative. I write as if I'm talking to my friends, and I am constantly thinking of the best way to sequence a bit of information so it can be comprehended correctly. This actually doesn't play as well in real-life; in the process of establishing the context, iterating the supporting facts, and drawing my brilliant conclusion, attention spans tend to wander. This is good, because it forces me to try to be more visceral and succinct.
But I digress.
