Dangerous Writing
A style of Writing in which, if you stop, everything you’ve written so far is deleted.
Dangerous Writing can be a powerful tool for overcoming Writer’s Block and fostering Creativity.
By eliminating the option to pause or delete, it forces writers to keep their thoughts Flowing. There’s no time overthink or edit.
This can lead to more authentic and raw writing, allowing ideas to flow freely without inhibition. Write Drunk, Edit Sober.
If you stop typing for more than five seconds, all progress will be lost. This loss avoidance helps keep you going. Pain Is A Stronger Motivator Than Pleasure.
