rules of the all-night write

it is coming up, it has been awhile, and it is needed. here are the rules:

1. you think it, you write it. no filters. all colors.

2. coffee. black. french press.

3. all of your loves and monsters will guide you through places you've never been. open your eyes and look around, and write with all of your senses. Taste things that you think you should feel and see things that you think you should hear.

4. don't stop. music helps. if you get stuck, let a song push you in a random direction. if you do stop, make sure its only for a short dancing break.

5. read it out loud. speak it, then write it, then speak it again. you can be narcissistic, its ok.

6. sunlight.
