Need help with a Writing Problem, Please
Aakaakaak:
Just write. Write crap, write nothing comprehensible, but above all, just write. I can't remember who it was, but they got in a run and typed around six full pages of LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA and then found his/her voice again. I can't for the life of me remember who it was though.
meh:

I freaking wish this could work for SWMBO and her professional papers; I'd get lucky /far/ more often.

SWMBO?

Do I need to get you a Rumpole collection?

*sips coffee* Sorry if I was too brusque, but Liger asked for help and advice. I don't think anyone gets any better by being told "go ahead and write crap" without being shown *how* to improve. It's hard to ask for help, so I try to at least honor the person's courage with whatever worthwhile suggestions I can offer.
Perhaps it's just my own pet peeve about asking for critiques and getting "it's good." with milque toast smiles. If I ask for your input, it's because I feel it could be better and can't figure out how to get there with my own POV, so I need your honesty. Patronizing or coddling someone who is trying to improve helps no one.
