Write poorly

I’ve read a dose from The Daily Post featuring Seth Godin’s Blog article with the title Talker’s Block.

I think I’ve read this before: Write poorly.

But with the kind of person like me, I think I need a lot of reminders before an advice would go on sinking into my mind. And I think this post is an effort to write poorly. But I just can’t really abandon the idea of quality writing in my post. 

The trial-and-error writing method

“His routine procedure seems to have been to start a novel with some structural plan which ordinarily soon proved defective, whereupon he would cast about for a new plot which would overcome the difficulty, rewrite what he had already written, and then push on until some new defect forced him to repeat the process once again.”
