Writers are an intriguing race. They seem to have a special interest in helping each other work better, more efficiently. They’d be happy to know they may be actually helping everybody
Myself, I love writing; I really enjoy essay-writing tasks in my english classes. But when it comes to writing for myself, I’m all lazy. Some months ago I bought a book with a very appealing title and more interesting content: Julia Cameron’s The Right to Write: An Invitation and Initiation into the Writing Life (in Spanish, The Pleasure and Right to Write); an easy-reading bunch of advices and strategies that encourage the shy writer start a career or just a vital hobby. Here’s the exciting part of it: I’m all lazy for EVERY SINGLE aspect of life and I found out that I could mentally change the books’ sentences by swapping words like “write”, “writer”, “writing” into things like “draw”, “designer”, “do the washing”, “work”, “be nice to your girl”, etc., and the advices/strategies still kept the meaning/usefulness!!!. This other list of 50 Strategies For Making Yourself Work â€â€also targeted to writers [via Jenneth] also works as an insightful source of help no matter if you are an idle writer, business advisor, industrial designer, artist or tennis female player (…oops).
