How I Write

The way I write isn't particularly interesting, creative, or philosophical, unfortunately. I think about what I want to write and then I sit down and write. I edit and add details as I go, and often read over and make many more changes. I think revision is a good technique to get the best out of writing.

I often handwrite my rough draft so I'm forced to edit the entire thing as I type it again. It makes it difficult to skim over sections that may benefit from different phrasing, or may even need a complete renovation.

I think about what I write a lot after I've written it. I think about things that I've learned from writing that particular work, and think about things I could have done differently. I think it's interesting how much we grow and change in our writing.

I believe practice, revision, and second opinions make perfect, so I try to uphold these practices in my writing.
