One of my favorite books recently is Stephen King’s “On Writing,” which I’ve written about before, and the one thing I do really poorly that it suggests is very simple:
I jot. I rarely write consistently. I get all wrapped up in myself, thinking my thoughts, and thus I keep them to myself.
I need to get over that. I overedit myself, thinking “surely I’ll have something meaningful and grand to write,” and as a result, I don’t write anything meaningful and grand; I don’t even write anything small and mean.
Get over it, me.
