Bullet Points Are Awesome!

People are always telling me to write formally when trying to ``think out'' something, but that doesn’t really work for me. I very much prefer using bullet points to convey my ideas, as I love their semi-structured nature. In fact, I enjoy them so much that the rest of this is going to be in bullet points!

bullet points have structure
- second level
  - third level
    
    fourth, should probably never go here
quotes are easy
- "I got, I got, I got, I got— / Loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA"
  - Kendrick Lamar, "DNA."
thoughts just flow out of me naturally
it’s just a steady stream of consciousness
you want a list? just make one
- bread
- oranges
- milk
it’s very easy to give your writing footnotes

you shouldn’t use bullet points everywhere though
- essays are much better if your ideas have structure
- bullet points are much better suited to being inserted into an essay when referring to a list
- block quotes are obviously much cleaner than bullet points
- can’t have media like images and videos
bullet points are still awesome though, and you should definitely use them to
- answer free writes
- do semi-structured brainstorming
- work out an algorithm
