• Show HN: New Ensō – first public beta

  Now if only someone would invent a tool to do the opposite. I have too easy a time of forgetting what I wrote, and penning new lines in obliviousness. It's a habit from many years of stream-of-consciousness writing a la The Artist's Way and https://750words.com. The hard thing, I find, is structuring text so that each paragraph has a purpose in relation to the others. I was once taught this in... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Tips for actually finishing a novel

  It also helps to write regularly and make it part of your routine. My goal is to write something every day. I don't always write a lot; some days it's less than 100 words, but usually it's more than that. On good days, I write several thousand words.

• Dear writers who didn't/don't have a "natural talent" for writing: How do you go from a trash draft to something worth reading?

  It really, really just boils down to practice. Reading a lot helps with that practice, as you get to see writing in good use. But any talent you want to develop just takes time and effort. No one is born with 'natural talent' and I will 100% admit that most of my 'talent' stemmed from being taught to read before I even went to kindergarten(My 3 year older brother had a hard time learning to read, so my mom taught...

• It feels like I’m holding my breath…As my therapist said: I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired

  3Pages or alternatively 750words is a site that covers that idea I mentioned above with writing everyday to brain dump, but they're both sites specifically for that purpose. I listed both since they cost different amounts to use. 3Pages is in French, but if you don't understand French it is okay because you can machine translate your way to making an account and logging in. After that, it's just writing, so the... Source: about 4 years ago
