How I Write

ANECDOTE

Navajo Rug Analogy

  • Jason Fried noticed imperfections in Navajo rugs and questioned their presence.
  • The gallery owner explained that the Navajo weavers didn't see these as mistakes, but as part of the process, like stumbling on a path and continuing on.
  • This resonated with Fried's approach to writing, allowing for imprecision and prioritizing getting the message across.
  • He questions the need for writing to be more perfect than spoken words and aims for his writing to feel like a conversation.
