Quote of the Day: Could Ring Lardner’s eccentric approach work for you?

I asked Ring Lardner the other day how he writes his short stories, and he said he wrote a few widely separated words or phrases on a piece of paper and then went back and filled in the spaces.
—Harold Ross

I think this quote can be helpful to writers, but not because we all ought to copy Lardner’s alleged method, whether we’re writing fiction or nonfiction.But when’s the last time you tried something new in your approach to the blank page or screen, something that might seem kind of nuts until you try it?
