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.

This is because comic sans is a dyslexic friendly font, and was designed for ease of reading. It’s disarming and supposed to help! But, it’s still..comic sans and if you don’t want to use that, there are other fonts that should give you similar effects, like OpenDyslexic

Comic sans is just more available so this is still good advice for writers.
