No matter how massive that particular pimple is on your
face, people won’t care or even notice it until you say, “OMG, I have such a
huge zit!” It’s like playing a piece of music and then saying, “Arg! I messed
up!” when you miss a note. If you keep on playing like nothing’s wrong, nobody
will know.
Excessive worrying about the “rules” of writing will
screw you up, even when you’re editing. The fear is crippling. Trust me on
this. Writers break the rules all the
time and still succeed, so just relax a little.
…That being said, ignoring the “rules” altogether does
you no favors.
Learning a new word sharpens your mind like a whetstone.
Excellent advice! It's good to see a new post! I hope your October went well! :)
