Writing tips thread
Letโ€™s share each otherโ€™s writing habits. I write in the 2โ€“3 minutes it takes the kettle to boil โ€” notebook lives in the kitchen. Whatโ€™s your equivalent?โ€“ Where are you?โ€“ How long do you write for?โ€“ What makes it actually happen?

Most of the time I start with a concept or idea, and then make a voice note speaking for as long as possible on that topic. Then I use a transcribing tool (Vibe) to turn it into text and save it as a note in organiser software (Obsidian). Not sponsored ๐Ÿ˜… they're both free and open-source ๐Ÿ‘ Then progressively trim the idea down to just the essential words, until nothing else can be taken away. I find that a lot easier than staring at a blank page! Probably also carries over from video production as I'm used to >90% of the footage never seeing the light of day ๐Ÿ˜‚
