And
now that we’ve plotted
wrong, characterized

wrong.
- Be obsessed
with letting your language ‘breathe’
This
is code for: “Be unwilling to revise anything but inexcusable errors and
typos.” This is because you must trust, you must trust in
the process (didn’t your Discount Life Coach tell you that
only last week?), you must understand that those words in that order in those
sentences came out of you by Divine Inspiration and cannot be
tampered with without losing their ‘freshness’ and ’spark.’
‘Freshness’
and ’spark’ being code for: “Accidentally getting it right.” Because you don’t
actually have a clue what you’re doing.
