In the chapter ‘Bad Writing,’ Julia dear has decided to attack the school system a bit. Pointing out that the writing and the thinking that schools try to support aren’t how people think, “in school we are taught to march our thoughts in nice orderly rows—as though that’s the way they occur to us. As if that’s the way we really think. The writing we learn in school—in most schools—is stripped down, chromeless, noncustomized prose.”
Before saying that, however, she had given a long paragraph example of describing her night, using descriptions that aren’t often used such as, “Now we’ve got great bolts of lightning—they drop like cartoon swords, jagged and bright yellow-gold—the kind that the gods used in the animated version of Greek mythology.”
Anyways, she continues with saying that sometimes bad writing is necessary to become a good writer. Allow your thoughts to just flow and write naturally, just write everything in your mind out on the page. Don’t worry too much about it now, it can be edited later, so don’t worry.
