A few tips on writing, from Waylon Lewis
A few tips on writing, from Waylon Lewis ⁠ 1. Write every day. Avoid the rough stuff and rustiness in your writing by practicing your craft. If you write every day it will begin to flow more smoothly.⁠ 2. It can help to meditate. It can help to sleep. It can help to eat real food. In summary: it can help to slow down and to take care of yourself. = 3. Practice live editing. This isn't an act of self-censoring, or second-guessing. Live editing is editing yourself while you express yourself.

Our genuine voice is powerful.
At Elephant, we write our hearts out. We find our voice.⁠ ⁠ We learn that craft of finding our voice again and again and again, because every time you find it, you lose it. ⁠ ⁠ You lose it in the middle of a paragraph. ⁠ You lose it between chapters. ⁠ You lose it day to day.

{2024} Find your Voice with Elephant Academy.
We're all human, and so we all have a voice—it's just a matter of remembering how to find it, again and again (it's not a one-and-done thing you can just keep. We have to practice, develop our craft, until we know our way back home).⁠

Art is Cathartic
"Close your eyes for a minute. Imagine you're a server in a restaurant. You approach your first table of the night and say: 'Hi folks! I'm Alex, and I'll be your server tonight. Our specials are...'⁠ ⁠ Now, close your eyes again. Pick up an imaginary phone and call your partner or your mom or your brother and say: 'Hey, how's it going?'⁠ ⁠ Chances are pretty good that the voice you just used in the restaurant situation is higher pitched and more tense..." ⁠ ⁠
