A good practice I've picked up while writing - whenever you make a statement, think why that's true, then think why that reason is true - the "why" to the "why" Often times the second "why" actually exposes the core message you are trying to convey to your reader and can make you're writing clearer

Not written poetry for months. I had a purple patch after first joining here when i was releasing a poem almost every other day, but I've not felt inspired for a while in that medium. I'm still all set to start writing again in September. Still not planning on teaching, despite the parental sales talk.

As I was writing & rewriting today, Tufte's ink ratio concept suddenly came to mind. This analogy — it isn't really an analogy; it's all still ink — is more clear to me than some other suggestions for improving one's writing. https://www.codeconquest.com/blog/data-ink-ratio-explained-with-example/

Set a 20m timer to try and forcibly minimize the the scope of some writing. I always take on too much or follow side quests. Timer just rang for the 3rd time. Still unhappy with it. Way too much scope. Every damn time man.

Writing tips from George Orwell from 1946: - invent unique metaphors. overused metaphors don't trigger the reader's imagination. - use simple words, avoid jargon. - use active voice: "subject did thing" not "thing was done by subject"

Okay I did a few things and now I’m tired. Time to enjoy the weather and write some more 💖. One of my favorite pastimes is co-writing through roleplay. Gaming of course, but I also have a long term writing partner I met through roleplay. So many stories to write.
