When you're writing. What have you learned about yourself or about writing with the mistakes you've made?
Me: I've learned that I work better writing a full plot instead of an outline. I've learned that it also benefits me to write a chapter or scene and edit it and then move on to the next one - before the first draft is done.
Oh, I've also learned that once I find a place I'm comfortable with when writing then it's hard to change to another place and still be in the groove.
"The stuff I write when I'm "inspired" is no better than the stuff I write when I'm "forcing" myself to write. "
Haha, I so agree with that. I wrote a whole chapter when I was in the creative mind-frame one time and had to delete it because it was pure crap.
