Lamott’s advice is still about producing a draft, about writing something that will eventually become your finished piece. It’s output-focused: write badly now, edit later. Useful, yes. But what I’m suggesting for when you need a radical motivation boost is different. I’m talking about forgetting drafts altogether for the moment. No beginning, middle, or end. No sense of what this will become. Just pure exploration and play. Write with no destination in mind at all.
