But gun to my head—I can’t seem to just sit down and make up an original non-fiction essay worthy of Less Wrong
With a gun to your head you would. It’s amazing what the right motivation can do.
While I’d rather not test this empirically, I think I’m feeling pretty motivated to do this, and yet I can’t. I’d really like to solve this issue without resorting to hiring a professional assassin on myself.
Are there any writing contests? (Those might not go around putting gun to people’s heads, but:
They might offer rewards.
Have prompts or guidelines.
Places that do that sort of thing might also offer resources to help, or be affiliated with such.)
