Today I just wanted to share this quick shower thought.
I spent 6 hours editing today. I spent 1 hour writing today.
You see where I’m going with this?
All my life, these two have been mixed up. And I’ve discovered recently that it’s been probably the biggest mistake I’ve made in making progress as a writer.
Editing is not writing. Like yoga is not cardio.
They’re both exercise. But they use different muscles. They have different outcomes.
Editing time should never eat into your writing time. Never.
Happy writing!
