How to write and why

September 17, 2016 By Chris Corrigan Being One Comment

From a great set of advice on writing:

Creativity is inexhaustible. Experiment, play, throw away. Above all be confident enough about creativity to throw stuff out. If it isn’t working, don’t cut and paste – scrap it and begin again. – Jeanette Winterston

Remind yourself, every day, that you’re doing this to try to find something out about yourself, about the world, about words and how they fit together. Writing is investigation. Just keep seeking. – Naomi Alderman.

    These are great! Here’s a few that have helped me along the way.

    “Be kind to your story.” It’s advice from Christina Baldwin. I found it helped me to welcome the writing to arrive rather than feeling it was solely up to me to force it on to the page. Meg Wheatley further revised this when I shared it with her. “Be kind to yourself in writing the story.”
