#i also don't ever usually delete the stupid shit i write although i will shove them all in a folder

I may not be able to write what I or other people would like me to, but one thing I *do* have going for me is the ability to just write stupid fuckin shit as if gdocs is a sketchbook.

Most people will agree that sketchbooks are good for artists cuz it's good practice even if, or especially because, every page doesn't end up being a finished polished piece.

But most writers seem to have this thing where they cannot put pen to paper/fingers to keys unless they feel like it's productive to whatever goal they have or else it's useless and why bother.

Fuck that. Write whatever shit you want, even if it won't lead to anything, even if it's repetitive, even if it's silly. Rewrite a scene you liked in a show or book or whatever with your blorbos. Plot out a pirate story you know you'll never get around to writing. Allow yourself to do the equivalent of doodling and you'll be better for it.
