TK, or the secret to effortless writing (2024)

# Summary TK (journalism shorthand for "to come") is a writing technique that helps maintain momentum by inserting "TK" as a placeholder when uncertain about a word, fact, or phrasing, then continuing writing rather than stopping to ponder. The method doubles as a searchable to-do list since "TK" rarely appears naturally in words, making it easy to locate gaps that need filling during revision.
