Julia Such great advice: that you can't "worry and write at the same time."

Kern Carter Love this answer. Creativity shouldn't have limitations, that's what editing is for lol.

Michael I wish my English teacher was like you, Gillian. We had to write a poem last year in 11th grade and then read them aloud to the class. I wrote mine on murdering and then eating a family (SOMETHING I WOULDN'T DO MIND YOU) and I couldn't read it or he would've had to 'report me.' I just like horror!

Amelia Strydom Wonderful question as well as answer!


message 5: by Greg (new)

Greg The point about it being a sign that you are being lazy when that happens really rings true; its good to see talented writers put up those guardrails

Ameerah Hareri Unfortunately I worry and write .. Because I think that worry what pushes me to write . I guess I need to diminsh this feeling and try to feel more confident and relaxed. For me it is really hard to do that because I am stressed all the time. I hope that sometimes I become like you. Having nothing to worry about while writing is absolutely mush better.
