Debbie Millman: “Draw Your Words”

You won’t have as much expectation for excellence

--

Wake Up and Write is an advice column from Moms Don’t Have Time to Write. Today, we have Debbie Millman — designer, host of the hit podcast Design Matters, and author of the new book, Why Design Matters— who shared writing advice on the podcast Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books, hosted by Zibby Owens.

“Draw your words.”

“It opens up different parts of your brain. At least to get started, especially if you have some writer’s block, draw the words. You don’t have as much expectation for excellence. Just the exercise of drawing the words sort of opens up different neural pathways.”
