“Editing kills more writers than drugs,
They start second-guessing stuttering, thinking about the end before they even start, how they will be perceived.
So they smooth out the grit and trim the edges. They neuter themselves - those are the ones who never write they are too self conscious or insecure
You aren’t a writer if you don’t write, liking the idea of writing is not writing, writing is writing that’s it.
Talking to me about your favorite authors is not writing.”
