What Is This I Don't Even

how to be a writer

• start to write something
• pause and read over what you have so far
• cringe
• backspace everything
• exit out of your computer
• cry on the floor

This is why you don’t read anything you’ve written until you’re completely finished writing.  But then steps 3-6 apply.

This is, for the record, why I only have one thing published and my other five complete novels are in varying stages of “editing”.
