Growing as a Writer

My favourite thing when I write is when I come up with a twist that leaves my mouth hanging open. I also love when a quirky little thought comes to mind that ties two parts of the story together and makes it more complex. So. Much. Fun.

I love these moments.

And if I spent my time worrying about grammar and story structure or character arcs at that moment, it would not be as fun. It may even stunt my creativity, making it hard to move forward.

However, I know that if I want to grow as a writer, I need to learn, practice and stretch my writing skills.

But once I have refreshed my memory on what hyperbole is, for example, I plan to put it aside and write for the joy of writing. I know the knowledge I will have gained will pop into my writing when I need it.
