Writing resources thread.

Writing is something I& #39;ve been actively working on and practicing every day. To help me ideate, clarify, and express my own thoughts.

I& #39;ll share a few things that have helped me improve. Curious if you have anything that& #39;s helped you with writing?
Don& #39;t write CRAPP. A simple reference to keep your words in check.

There& #39;s a great free guide from @lbelgray for writing non-sucky copy. Here& #39;s a snippet.
Practice explaining your ideas often.

People ask me questions all the time. About my process, or advice. When I respond, this is what happens:

1st time someone asks: word vomit comes out
2nd time: A paragraph
3rd time: A sentence

Observed this by working with @theChrisDo
Writing apps. Apps that have helped me write better:

@hemmingwayapp – Helps you writing be short, bold, and clear.

@Grammarly – The nagging grammar bot in your browser.

@Twitter - Great to practice here because of the limited character count. Make them count.
Write. Re-rewrite. Then Re-write again.
Put in your reps.

I write scripts for @thefuturishere video content.

I& #39;ll free-write an idea from an outline.
Days later, I& #39;ll rewrite again.
Repeat till confident.

It helps me explore and clarify ideas, from different angles.
What& #39;s the story, inside the story?

I learned this idea from Luc Wiesman at @nobs_events

While everyone is talking about the subject, what& #39;s the POV of a human experience related to that subject?

That story is far more interesting and relatable.
