Call me Bob the Builder because I can fix him
A lot of writing tips, I feel, can relate a little to the rest of life.
It's really easy to get caught up on a small plot point and mull over it, editing and editing that one point again.
But that won't get you anywhere.
Even if it's not perfect, you have to keep writing past that or else you'll never end up making progress.
That embarrassing thing you did five years ago? That one comment? They suck, and they can hurt or keep you awake. But it's a minor plot point, and you have to step over it and keep writing. Even if out of spite.
It is quite possibly one of the hardest things to do in both writing and in real life.
Things I am unable to do:
Work consistently on my novel
Math
Eat fried chicken like a normal person and not like a feral gremlin child
Wrapping a towel around myself, feeling like a Greek goddess.
Shuffling around in my robe, embodying the mannerisms of a curmudgeonly Victorian man.
Screeching into the void and waking ancient horrors, becoming the herald of the end times that I am.
