If I could tell my younger self anything, I would tell her to stop editing while she writes. It is a habit that took me a very long time to break, but now that I've broken it, I feel free! I accomplish more in my writing when I don't go back and re-read it over and over and over again before finishing. Instead, I now write until the first draft is done, and THEN edit. It's the best advice anyone has ever given me.
J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, and Sarah J. Maas. They are some of my all-time favorite authors and I would love to pick each of their brains about writing and literature!
Yes, I have. My theory about writers block is that it happens most when I've been sitting in front of my computer for too long. At those times, my body is reminding me that I need to move. So, I get up and take a walk. During these walks I listen to pre-created playlists of songs that I feel fit the theme of my book or characters. This really helps me and I would suggest it to anyone feeling stuck in their writing!
