Chop up a sentence.

Write fragments.

Start sentences with “and” or “but.”

Do it ‘because it feels right’, not because Strunk and White said so.

All the writing “rules” in the world don’t matter if they make your writing sound stiff.

Some rules are good, but breaking them is often better.

Write it down like it’s urgent, even if it’s just a wisp of an idea.

This ritual of grabbing onto ideas without judging them helps treat every concept like it could go somewhere.
