Machines or methods cannot create better writing but facilitate it or make it harder. I think the main problem of text editors is that they encourage instant editing, which breaks with the linear/causal character of longer text. The only way around it, the only way to linear writing is to post in blocks. Which is, apart from forcing the writer to focus, the main idea of this thing.
- unalone 18y agoTell me: have you ever spent time researching how writers write? I think that if you do, you'll be surprised by how different each one does. The process of writing is unique to the writer, and that's something that you have to take into account. You can't standardize it: any real system has to encourage every method that works. It's why the best system is still the equivalent of a blank page.
