Legal Writing

At LifeClever, Chanpory Rith has posted a great trick for getting around writer's block.

"If writing stirs a panic attack in you," Chanpory writes, "try this: start with an email."

Why? For five reasons:

1. It's convenient.
2. You feel less pressure.
3. You're more conversational.
4. You're more concise.
5. You can get feedback quickly.

Chanpory has more to say about each of these reasons.

So this week, whenever you're stuck, just open your mail program, click "New Message," and write a message to yourself. I've tried it. It works.
