Writing became more fun when I finally incorporated it into my daily routine. Once the initiatory act no longer required intentional effort and just became a thing I did regularly like eating or weeping in despair for a fallen world, I was able to forget about the more mechanical parts of the process and just, like, roll with it, baby.

Pretty much. What did people even read before message borads existed?

Shredded Wheat nutritional panel is only good for maybe 2-3 close readings and then I'm out.

Try the romance copy on the opposite panel. Real tear jerker.

i think twitter has made me a better writer in some way. especially the 140 era (rip). not sure about ilx. my academic writing is strong relative to my peers and i take great pleasure in it; it’s a fun game to try to inject just the right amount of style while maintaining the dry tone and technical correctness

Contemporary English's (acquired, not innate) tendency towards dryness and consummate transparency drives me up the wall, although it's a useful corrective when grafted onto other, less cost-effective languages.

Muir's livelihood was grounded in the money he earned from his writing, mostly for periodicals. Hence, the eternal grind.
