Having a chance to listen to Macbreak Weekly for the 18th of august, 2009 I’m going to try and live up to their suggestions about writing.
For instance, the issue iwth the delete key is I keep trying to fix my stupid writing. What’s this mean for me? I can’t delete what I’ve written before, even if I think it is crap.
Shame my fingers don’t listen to me. I agree that without a delete key my writing would meander and quite possibly amuse everyone.
Forget ignoring the internet, however useful that is I would rather get past the desire to delete everything I wrote before! The problem is as Andy Ihnatko once said; when you look back at what was written and you realize it’s not good you have to conclude there was (and still is) a time you weren’t completely awesome at writing. Putting those two together makes an interesting way to avoid never writing.
I wish, desperately for a program that doesn’t have a delete key. It should be possible, if people wrote the varying levels of software on every platform ever, how come I can’t get the best of every single writing application for the mac? Perhaps it need only be textedit without delete.
Times like this make me wish I could write software better than i can, which is I can’t. Then I could do that. Because I respect how difficult it is to do things like program, design, and be awesome like that. My hats go off to all of you, those who can, at least.
Writing is a pain, but I have the free time, may as well make the best use of that. When I’m not rereading entire sagas of science fiction literature, the likes of which should be required reading for everyone under the age of 15, I may as well write for the edification of all.
