How Do You Write?
A kind person – lots of sarcasm intended right there – told me the other day that my writing was a scrambled mess of words. That I went about writing in a really odd way. At first I felt slightly offended, then I read my first draft again and saw precisely what they meant…
It got me down for a bit, but, like Alan Partridge, I bounced back!
Now what I come to realise is this: there is no right or wrong way to write a short story or essay or novel. It really is a case of what works best for you. Yes, approaching a press release about new Physiotherapy Jobs can be done in one more structured way, but what does it matter as long as you get there in the end?
My mind works like this: I think of something, I write it down somewhere, and I come back to it later. And this is how my first draft tends to go. For this simple reason, my work is, at first, just loads of ideas. The sentences don’t link together too well, but so what? It works for me and is what I like to do.
Another good thing about my “messy” technique is that I don’t get caught in the trap of having to make every single sentence perfect. This wastes time and let’s be honest, what good is a perfect sentence on every line if, at the end of it, you are just going to start again anyway?
Do it your own way, I say. Follow the rules but when you feel like breaking them, guess what, you can!
