I took my best advice about writing from Hemingway - "the first draft of anything is shit, so you may as well write it anywy."
I'm going to go against the grain here, with Jeff Kitchen's advice:
(paraphrased)
"Resist the urge to write until you've got your entire story broken down into its smallest parts. This will save you a lot of time rewriting for sake of plot."
Good one redchurch. That's what I'll say I'm doing when I'm not writing!
Sometimes the best advice is the shortest advice --- thanks for these gems!
Great stuff, Nienke. I still like the very simple advice: Just do it. I need to quit making excuses sometimes and follow this advice!
I love John Baker's advice. So happy to have stumbled on your blog.
