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.

it’s true

Im gonna try this soon… 

I’ll update with my findings. 

FUN FACT Comic Sans is a dyslexic-friendly font!  Its lettering is styilized in a way that makes it easier to read:

(b and d and e and a are always the hardest ones to differentiate for me)

And for extra comparison:

(I keep feeling like I spelt handwritting wrong but ok.)

A lot of the slight newuances are there to help streamline reading and comprehention, and prevent letter flipping/rotation.

SO I’m assuming that some of the reason that it’s so easy to write with is becuase it’s BUILT to be easy to write with. There’s other fonts like it if you guys hate comic sans and wanna try out something like this….but I can’t remember which ones…..Just look up “Dyslexia friendly fonts” or somethin. (although I always liked Comic Sans and the font is actually the victum of cronic contextual misuse-but that’s another discussion.)
