While deliberation plays a part in great endeavors, I believe that those bright flashes of inspiration are not meant to be hoarded. Better an imperfect expression of art than one that’s constantly picked over and never expressed at all. While hassling the details is important, it is procrastination, IMHO, that’s a far more prevalent and deadly thing than misplaced minutiae.
At least one minute, one SECOND even, must be given to the pursuit of one’s chosen craft on a daily basis. While results may be inconsistent, effort must never be.

In a nutshell, be a lit analysis nerd and write and edit every day, haha! But I’ll try to pretty up some of the finer points and keep shooting ’em out. Thanks! 🙂

Form a habit to be Inspirational everyday. Umm ok but will have to break the habit of reading blogs instead of writing them…I’m CRAP at Multitasking😅

Nah you got it! After all, my stuff is just reappropriated from wiser folks. If you got block, just read someone who said it super awesomely and then wrangle the words until it comes out with your flavor. 🙂

So slow down and watch in frames. Oh my… My beta reader removed all my explanation of self defence manoeuvres and the buildup of cat vision whist watching the bursting of a rain bubble. He said I was too intense and wrote with a camera vision which he thought was overkill.

Beta readers, while they may help on the margins of your work, IMHO, are hampered mostly by education’s training, which means they go after essay-type mistakes. Now that may not be the case with yours, but in the absence of a reliable beta-reader, here’s what I suggest: Read something that REALLY moves you, but do it with a critical eye, note how the words were put together to evoke that feeling, then read your own stuff and see if you can change it up. I’ve seen that my favorite writers break “the rules” willy-nilly: Sentence fragments, starting sentences with “the wrong word”, run-on, passive, adverbs…I say that when you can read your manuscript (usually happens around the umpteenth time for me) with the harshest eye, and only do a small bit of changes (there’s always something that needs changing) but STILL be entertained, even though you know exactly what’s going to happen and when, then it is ready for public consumption. Sorry for the uber long post, and I hope that helps! Good luck, Ameeta! It just takes frustration and a lot of time! 🙂
