write (a rather one-sided discussion)
If you forget everything else - especially when you forget everything else:
Write it, or you will forget it.
Nothing "isn’t worth writing down." Even nothing is worth writing down.
Write without thinking.
Keep thinking once you’ve stopped writing.
Write every day.
Yes, even if you have nothing to write about.
Even if you hate the concept you’re working on.
Even if you can’t stand your characters.
Even if you don’t believe a line of it.
Even if this is the twelfth time you’ve used that word.
Well someone, somewhere has a writing utensil.
Receipts work just fine.
Then write more.
Sure it reads like shit. It’ll inspire the hell out of you later.
You and I know about #1 all too well, don’t we?
