What I learned is that the writing process is something very subjective and what can work for me could not work for you and viceversa.

However, the most important thing (especially if you are a beginner) is to **shut down your inner critic**.

You should write without questioning how good can be. Just let it flow. You have to discover your voice and your style.

You can't expect to have a gold bar if you are not ready to get your hands dirty collecting the nuggets.

There's a time to write and there's a time to judge ;) don't mix them up.

P.S. Good Luck!
