Derek Sivers's Writing Process

Tuesday 06 March, 2018

1. Write all of my thoughts on a subject.
2. Argue against those ideas.
3. Explore different angles until I’m sick of it.
4. Leave it for a few days or years, then repeat those steps.
5. Hate the messy pile of thoughts.
6. Write a tiny outline of the key points.
7. Post the outline. Trash the rest.
