That's What She Said

I'm finding it hard... to write. I think those little writing exercises like "write about how you think regret tastes" or "write a short story in 55 words or less" are trite. I mean, I can see how that would spur you to write, but that's not the writing I want to do.

I've noticed that a lot of what I write has a pseudo-posh tone - like I use "rather" too much or I use huge generalizations to further my analysis. It means I don't have to put much effort into my writing. I'm going to stop doing that. Right now.

So here's my more honest voice. It's less flowery and superfluous. I think it's better.
