WHEN Writing and AFTER Writing
Avoid These WHEN Writing
- Spell check: Ignore the red-underlined words.
- Dictionary / Thesaurus: Resist yourself from always looking for a “better” word.
- Sentence Structure: Never mind if it doesn’t really make sense or if it’s run-on.
- Google / other search engines: Don’t stop with the goal of “adding more stuff” to what you are writing. You’ll end up digressing and eventually, procrastinating.
- Looking back: Write until all else is pretty much exhausted from you.
Imperatives AFTER writing
- Do all those listed above.
- Always, always separate editing from writing.
- Never ever interrupt the momentum of your creativity.
