the art of writing

Writing advice from Lenny Rachitsky:

If you want to have an existential breakdown, try to make each sentence an aesthetic masterpiece. Ditch the poetry and focus on clarity instead.

“Every time I think about how to write beautifully, I just get stuck and it just slows everything down.” ​

When writing, write yourself into a good idea. It takes time.

"When I'm writing a first draft, I'm just putting sand into a bucket, so I can build the sandcastle later."
