Why “Write Good”?

Back in the days when Owen and I were newly married, I used to send him off to his novel and screenwriting work in the morning with a kiss and a sweet “Write Good!”

It was adorable, of course, but it also was a reminder that the early stages of writing aren’t about perfection and stodgy rules.

It takes a lot for me to bust out with some bad grammar, so I always saw “Write Good” as a gift for both of us. A reminder to write with enthusiasm and passion, to jump on inspiration, and to trust that I’ll be there at the end to help with all the cleaning up, editing, proofreading, and fine tuning.
