Episode description

I stumbled on a piece of writing advice that rubbed me the wrong way today. The piece of writing advice was that you should write for the sake of writing. Now, this got on my bad side because I believe writing has one very clear goal. That goal is to take what is in my head and put it into another person's head using words. But when I started to think about this advice that said "Write to write," I actually came to the conclusion that I agreed with it. In this episode of How to Write Good, I am going to talk about why I agree with this advice and why I changed my mind on it.
