Writing Less Badly

Tips for Writing

In The Chronicle of Higher Education, Michael C. Munger writes an interesting article that I'm posting the link to as a reminder to myself to think about when writing and re-writing.

His #1 tip is that "writing is an exercise," which is important to remember when setting out to write after not having written and maybe even a good incentive for updating this here blog.

Tip number five: "Everyone's unwritten work is brilliant" also made me chuckle, but that might come as a result of my creative writing experience, or experience with creative writing students who enjoyed talking about their writing more than they seemed to write.
