How I Write

NOTE

Remove expectations, write from conversation

Writer's block often stems from placing too many expectations on oneself. By removing expectations and writing purely for enjoyment, creativity can flow freely. It's crucial to eliminate self-imposed limitations and broaden the boundaries of what is deemed acceptable to generate new ideas. Creativity can manifest unexpectedly, leading to ideas that may initially seem unrelated but can later be integrated into one's work. Encouraging a conversational approach to writing allows for authentic and relatable content to emerge effortlessly, akin to engaging in a natural dialogue with friends where ideas naturally flow from the heart.
