Ideas always look good in my head, but when I try to write them down, they’re always uglier, like subjects of biopics in real life.

That’s why I started writing on paper.

I liked writing on a computer because everything looked clean. The first draft looked like the real thing.

However, on paper, even the final draft looks like a child’s scrapbook, but this made re-writing very easy, because the flaws are so easy to spot.

Whereas on a computer, finding flaws is like trying to spot a spy from the KGB. Everything’s already set in stone by the backspace key. There’s no room to mess around and let the idea develop.

Hence, though writing on paper is a mess, it’s the right kind of mess.
