Tip #1: Don't edit when you're writing

When writing, it's important to avoid editing as you go. Many of us were trained in school to focus on editing and meeting the expectations of teachers. However, this editor brain hinders the creative process and can cause us to delete or modify our writing too much. By separating the writing and editing stages, we can allow our ideas to flow freely without judgment. Save the editing for later.

I had a university friend once who needed to borrow my computer. He sat down at it early in the morning, and by the time I got back home that evening, he had no more words in his document than he had when he started hours before. He had spent the entire day writing, editing, deleting, and rewriting, only to have zero progress by the end of the day.

On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I share how you can avoid this kind of disappointment and frustration and actually sit down and write your book in thirty days.
