Writers can learn from the ‘Go Slow’ philosophy of this fun Hawaiian shirt merchant
By Gary | December 12, 2007
Sometimes you stumble onto useful and downright fun websites. No sooner did I post about long or short writing forms, and generally how to approach writing, than I found out about a merchant website with great name -- "Mad Gringo" -- and a great philosophy for writers: "Go Slow." So I would advise you to "Go Slow" with the "Mad Gringo."
Okay, all that’s a bit corny, but it makes a legitimate point. The "Go Slow" outlook on life really resonates with me as a writer. When I let myself rush (which is often), I find myself doing sloppy writing. When I take a deep breath and make myself relax (which is not often enough), I write more clearly and carefully. The "Go Slow" attitude works nicely not only on the beach but in the office/study, too.
The "Mad Gringo" site itself offers a terrific selection of Hawaiian shirts, tropical shirts, sarongs, beach wear, and other beach accessories. And by the way, who, really, could NOT love a colorful Hawaiian shirt? I mourn the loss of mine, given to me by my in-laws many years ago while I was still in college. I suppose I should break down and get a new one. (I really like the looks of their Bula Blue Hawaiian shirt, personally.) Go take a look at this nifty beach wear site. The "Mad Gringo" awaits.
Then, when you sit down to write later this evening, tomorrow, or whenever you get back to the keyboard, remember to practice that "Mad Gringo" philosophy and "Go Slow."
