turn off spellcheck

it can be overwhelming to first put pen to paper (or fingers to keys).


a professor of mine once gave me great advice - a writing dump. but there were some parameters: white text, no second guessing, and make sure to turn off spellcheck. don’t worry about the mechanics of writing, only think about the meat. don’t get distracted by squiggly red lines.


when you’re done, darken that text. what have you got? just your thoughts.


start there.


and then maybe restart spellcheck.
