FBR rule: write fast, bad and wrong
TL;DR writing fast, bad and wrong, unleashes the creative thought processes and ultimately increases both the quality and quantity of output.
I used to dread writing. Especially emails, some of which would take hours to write. While writing, I would review the whole write up multiple times. This meant some of my writing tasks took either too long, causing significant delays in my responses, or worse - no response at all..
How do I use the FBR rule?
(1) to reduce the overall time it takes for me to write, and
(2) to increase the output as well as increase the quality of my writing.
This lets me write more and on varied topics that essentially improves the quality of my writing.
Why does the FBR rule work?
At first glance, the FBR rule seems to emphasize that quantity trumps quality. In my experience, the overall quality is actually much better because of two effects.
Firstly, the FBR rule removes the hurdles in the creative process. It lets me continue my train of thought without bothering about the spelling, grammar, or other things, all of which interfere with the creative process. By removing these subtle but important hurdles, it facilitates the creative process of thinking deeply about a topic while I am writing about it. This ultimately leads to a higher quality of thoughts captured while writing.
Secondly, the FBR rules increases the volume of writing, as well as the frequency of editing and polishing it. Writing is definitely a skill that improves the more you practice it.
To summarize, writing fast, bad and wrong, unleashes the creative thought processes and ultimately increases both the quality and quantity of output.
