A Writer’s Routine

 

What matters?

Prose on the page.

How does it get there?

(1) Tune in ⇢ Record ⇢ Repeat Until There’s Too Much Static.

(2) Re-read prose: Good? ⇢ Tune in again. Bad?Revise / Polish.

One and two happen recursively. Every paragraph and every sentence—hell, every word, if it needs it.
