I first heard this writing advice from a woman in a Writing Marathon Group. Essentially, the lesson here is to not let your life get so bogged down in drama that you don't have the emotional room or time to write. Don't lose your days to bullshit concerns like who said what to whom, or get dragged into making poor choices that end up giving you real life consequences that eat into your mind and erode your ability to get words on the page.
My post today at Darker Temptations with some advice on writing. Writing motivations are, of course, unique to each individual, so take from this bag of advice whatever works for you and discard the rest!
