8 Tips on Writing (Not Typing)

05/11/2010

Seriously

As someone who’s written over 50 book reports, 30 letters, 31 envelops, 18 poems, 5 journals and 1 constitution let me give you a bit of advice on writing.

You don’t have to have a high school diploma to use college ruled paper.
(Also don’t worry about a diploma if your windshield advertises your car stereo.)

Never write in cursive if you foresee using a capital Q. No one knows that’s not a 2.

A number two pencil is not something thin you leave in the toilet.

If your pen stops working, try drawing a lot of circles really fast.

If your pencil stops working, try using a pen.

If that pen stops working, make a paper airplane.

If your airplane sucks, God doesn’t want you to be a writer.
