"There was no resistance
no blood, only cartilage
soft as a child's nose. A last
iota of ink made us wince."
from 'The Floral Apron' by asian-american writer Marilyn Chin (found it thanks to @lisajoynolan's Insta).

@alicetai_ writing idea: write in chunks (i.e. imagine you're writing one Twitter post). repeat it a bunch of times until you have a whole blog written out :D
how to get better at writing? shitpost on Twitter
but for reals, the word limit encourages clear writing. i've been more intentional about the choice and order of words when writing on this platform
when writing marketing copy i've been thinking 'who am i trying to help?'. it's writing with a sprinkle of empathy. it helps with choosing the words i write, and i feel that what i put down is worthwhile.
