      I write in a very, very messy way, all over the place, leaving a lot of TK placeholders.pic.twitter.com/8z6UsYe4SY

      It all somehow comes together in the end. But right now, I kind of hate this piece – it feels weird and rambling.

      This is normal (for me), too. Will come back to it in a few days and things will be better.

      The “for me” part feels important. There is no one way to write. There is no one reason to write, either.

      I learned to trust my own process over time. It no longer feels scary that 5 minutes before finishing a story still feels like a giant mess.

      Or: Some people need zero internet to write. For me internet-less writing is an exception; I usually look up stuff I am unsure about…

      …or negotiate the landscape with an online dictionary/thesaurus in hand. But that’s a bit later in the process.

      By the way, I don’t like the story right now, but I liked certain moments when writing it. A lot.

      Moments when I felt I came with a beautiful/unique phrase. Moments when I figured something new out while writing.

      Moments when threads or ideas connected with one another in a way I didn’t expect.

          Those moments when language helps you out, or when you help language out, I learned to treasure.

          BTW I am writing right now from a dentist’s chair, waiting for anesthetics to kick in. This is *not* part of the usual writing process.pic.twitter.com/g79ec1Jb5H
