i hate this so much but this knowledge is too powerful to keep from you all.
last night @phaltu discovered that setting your font to comic sans in google docs improves writing speed and creativity by an insane amount. “no” i said and “die” but then i tried it and god. i wish it wasn’t this way. i wish it wasn’t true. i wish i could protect you all from this but it’s real.
something about this font is so disarming. something about this font lets you look past the shape of the words and into their soul. i’ve never written so much as i did last night, on my phone, at 2am, in comic sans.
if you have writer’s block. if you lack inspiration. if you need this. don’t be afraid to use it. sometimes the things we find most horrifying are also the things we need the most. trust me. let comic sans into your life.
it’s true
Listen @doobler introduced me to this trick and it works??? I’ve written copious amounts of smut in this godforsaken font. Idk why it works. I hate it so much. As a graphic designer its a literal nightmare of a font. As a font snob there is so much WRONG with it idk how it ever became a font. But as a writer…. It works. It really fucking works. Wanna increase your productivity in writing? Make it comic sans. Writing something you have no inspiration for? Comic sans. Need to get an extra boost of humor? Comic sans. Can’t get that hot and heavy smut scene out how you want it? Comic sans has your back. It’s utterly stupid and ridiculous but it works.
I… I have to try it
Technical Editing professor gave us this interesting and very helpful tip–when editing your own work, switch the font to Comic Sans. You’ll be noticing mistakes a lot faster than if you stick with your regular font because you’re so used to it. Seriously, give it a shot.
Interdasting.
I just tried this and knocked out an entire page of a video script I wanted to work on?? The fuck? Alright Comic Sans, I won’t knock you so much anymore.
