The nuts and bolts of writing

Mr Ben Locker: [1. Who is an outstanding copyrighter and fine beer drinker.]

Instead of wasting my time trying to cultivate the kind of creative imagination I couldn’t achieve and didn’t want, I switched my attention to the nuts and bolts of writing — the words, and the ways you can put them together.

I think I’ve read, and re-read, Ben’s post at least 5 times. Every time I read it, I love it a little bit more.

I made a decision to start blogging regularly this year because I enjoy the act of writing.

It doesn’t really matter about the topic; it’s about luxuriating in the act of putting the right words in the right order to end up with something that feels crafted.
