what is vibes writing?
vibes writing is writing without the hand-wringing, the overthinking, the self-important slow crawl to a perfect final draft. it’s writing how you think—fast, messy, in motion. this is what i’m doing right now. dictating ideas, riffing with ai, seeing what sticks.
it’s chat as a medium. it’s the opposite of painstaking craftsmanship. it’s move fast, write things, let them evolve.
tools of the trade
vibes writing works because the tech finally makes it possible:
- wispr flow – speak, don’t type. typing is too slow for thoughts.
- chatgpt projects + canvas– where ideas go from scattered sparks to something real. the project pulls from my past work, guided by a custom system instruction that keeps the writing sharp, natural, and effortless
- real-time feedback loops – thoughts, iterated and refined, in motion. it’s an engine for ideas. a way to turn a blank page into a written thing before you even know what happened.
why vibes writing?
most writing feels like chiseling stone. slow. solitary. tedious. vibes writing? it’s like throwing clay on a wheel and shaping it as it spins. ideas don’t start perfect, but they start. and that’s the whole point.
- speed – the best ideas don’t wait.
- flow – writing should feel fun, not like homework.
- authenticity – write how you talk, not how you think you should talk.
vibes written posts
some of my posts will be labeled “vibes written.” what does that mean? it means i didn’t sit there agonizing over every word. i spoke it, jammed on it, let it take shape in real-time. some posts will stay raw. others will turn into polished essays. but they all started here.
what’s next?
no idea. vibes writing is an experiment. a work in progress. maybe it’s just how i write now. maybe it’s bigger than that. who knows? but that’s the fun of it. no overthinking. just vibes.
