How To Write on a Creative Writing Blog: a Step by Step Process by Charles Darnell

Step 1: go through a heart breaking experience
Step 2: write about it
Step 3: publish it
Step 4: re-read it
Step 5: revert it back to a draft because it's way to personal and there are like at least seven typos
Step 6: fix the typos
Step 7: add two or three more personal details because you've given up on sugar coating your feelings
Step 8: re-publish it
Step 9: refresh the page every thirty minutes for the next five days to check for comments
*Bonus Step: if someone comments read the comment over sixteen times and revel in the glory and start again from Step 1
Step 10: after five days of no comments revert it back to a draft again to save yourself the embarrassment
Step 11: repeat this cycle until you get comments or you just don't give a shit and write for yourself not caring if others like it

  2. Holy crap. I take a week off from blogs and this is what I come back to? Your last three blogs are DOPE. Very honest. Very real. Easy to read, but hard to look at. Keep it up.
