Writing practice guidelines


"I am free to write the worst junk in the world."

·      Keep your hand moving (don't pause to reread--that's stalling and interrupts your thoughts)
·      Don't cross out (that is editing as your write. Leave it, even misspelled words)
·      Don't worry about spelling, punctuation, grammar (or margins).
·      Lose control.
·      Don't think. don't get logical.
·      Write what first comes to your mind.
·      No rules.

--from Writing Down the Bones, by Natalie Goldberg
