๐Ÿ’Œ Writing for Me

"Blogging is fun and therapeutic. Grammar and editing arenโ€™t. As long as your thoughts are coherent, donโ€™t worry too much about writing mistakes or filtering yourself. Just use Grammarly to fix elementary-level errors and move on. Itโ€™s more about the writing process than the final product."

โ€” Ash

I disagree, because when I look back at my work from less than a year ago, I'm embarrassed by how much the writing sucks. Of course, I'm proud of how much I've improved, but I can't resist the urge to correct the mistakes of my earlier work.

The only thing stopping me from improving is my lack of time. If I put the time in now, I'll spend less time obsessing about how much better it could have been. I need to get as close to perfect as possible. I'm not writing for you, I'm writing for me.
