one thing i noticed after over six months of continuous writing was that the more i googled ‘how to improve as a writer,’ the harder it was for me to write.
i didn’t understand why until i realized that the reason for this was that all the rules, the do’s and don’t’s, etc. were locking up my mind / creativity and instead of focusing on writing, i was focused on making sure not to break any of the countless writing rules i’d read about.
it’s just so much clutter and i feel like, especially when you’re on your first draft, the only thing you should be focusing on or worrying about is writing.
