 Nah
I just wax poetic and write down my dreams as soon as I wake. 

What helps me is deadlines. If someone's like "I want to see something by Friday! Even if it's a paragraph" 

It makes me so procrastinating and clip things together🤷🏽 otherwise I'll sit and add and add and tweak forever

 Yea but there’s nothing like a fully cohesive piece of work 

These are just musings but

There’s a difference between musings and a masterpiece

 So I need to tell you when we're getting corny so that you have to be ready for it?

 Thank god I’m not alone.

 I have follow through when there's pressure🤷🏽

I always wow my best papers and stories at 2am the night before (then revising it again at 10 before class) from notes on the idea I had on the topic 3 months ago when the assignment was given

I need that "ok see you Friday with the first draft" kind of pressure you know?

 What’s common thread here… 

Psst- it’s social media 🤣

 Should I care about the reader or just throw them right into absolute dread right off the bat? 😅

I don’t think I’m supposed to care

 Depends how you wanna hook em🤷🏽

Either way in your first 5 mins there should be a hook to get people wanting to know more. 

And depending how long your whole project is you should even be started on the inciting incident 🤷🏽
