just write! if you want to be a writer, just write and continue writing. i”ve been a journalist for the last 15 years, blogger (onand off) for the last three years and i learned that the only way for m to finish a news story or a blog ost is to stop waiting for that “ideal moment’ (what rhe hell is that anyway?) and just start writing something

i need to start writing rubbish.
i love this post,sometimes we stress ourselves struggling to write the opposite of rubbish..
i think writing rubbish is a great way of being creative…
just write what comes to your head is much easier…..rubbish or more rubbish

This is so true. At the end of the day we have to let the writing flow. Sometimes it deserves flushing, not publishing, but at least it’s out. Suppressing the urge to write is plain unhealthy. Thanks for all the creative and positive encouragement.

An excellent article, with a perfect example of how important research is to writing.

I have long file of articles that I will probably never use.

Thanks, great pointers!

I’m a huge fan of zero drafts. Virtually every thing I write comes out as rubbish first.

I got to this post from Scribina on Facebook. The thing I love about (eventually) coming around to the idea of putting pen to paper with less self-editing and more WRITING, is that it’s a good ego check; the more quantity there is, the less well I think of myself. Which is a good thing – I find ego is the enemy of art practice. When I write little, I think every word is precious because it came from meeeee, the stingy pen of meeeee. When I write a lot, not only does the quality of my best work improve, but I am able to be gentler on myself with the dross because there’s just so darn much of it, I can’t be that hard on myself.

Thanks for writing this! You’ve given me a chance to put down some ideas that have been floating around my brain for several years now.
