Benefits of writing with Neil Gaiman hair include:

  • Improved circulation to the brain through the stimulated follicles and scalp which establishes a better creative flow.
  • A physical barrier to Writer's Block which must first penetrate the dense tangle before threatening your medial prefrontal cortex.
  • Key to living as a writer, Neil Gaiman hair also produces monetary savings on hair styling products and a reduces time spent on grooming which can be applied to drafting and editing.

Done. You're a writer. Go forth and spew words.

Call your doctor if you have Neil Gaiman hair which lasts more than seventy-two hours. Neil Gaiman hair does not guarantee sales or critical appreciation of your work. If your heart is not bruised, conflicted, or bursting enough for fiction, please do not attempt Neil Gaiman hair.


With so many writers here on Steemit, I'm sure we're all regularly bombarded with the latest tips, techniques, and magic formulas about how to write and/or monetize our craft. Some are worthwhile, most aren't. The secret formula? Sit down and put words on a page. Do it enough times and you do get better at it. Read great books by authors you respect and examine their techniques. And write about things which move you. Write the words which matter to you. Your reader can tell if you're bullshitting them.

This is my first, last, and only post in my series on writing advice.
