In my process of becoming a better writer, I learned:
- Writing and editing are two separate processes.
- Most of your writing is thinking.
- Most of your writing is bullshit. Deal with that.
- Complex sentences and words don't make you look smarter.
- You'll likely write with too many adverbs.
- That sentence isn't really crucial.
- Delete anything you doubt should be there.
- Your random thoughts aren't random at all.
