Is there writing advice you used to follow but changed your mind?
"Write what you know"
Like a lot of writers, I love research. Delving into specific topics is a lovely, deep rabbit hole that can prevent me—for hours—from having to open my manuscript and consider the next sentence. 😆
But research also means I'm learning something new, and I don't think I've ever written anything of worth that didn't involve that learning. So I suggest a change.
