How I Write

NOTE

Writing as writing it for your friends after two glasses of wine

When writing content, it's important to find the right tone. Initially, the first draft may focus on sounding smart, followed by an attempt at humor in the second draft. However, the most successful approach often comes in the third draft, where the content is written as if explaining to friends after a few glasses of wine. This conversational tone helps in finding the flow and authenticity in the writing. It is crucial to create the right setting for writing, such as using an email composition box to set a casual tone before transferring the content to a formal word editor. Visualizing the content and utilizing tools that support visual thinking can enhance the writing process.
