Moon, you are nailing it with every single post. This is excellent advice, not just for novices but for those of us who can use the occasional reality check.

Douglas, would this apply to fiction writing as well? You write killer stories (pun intended 😉)!

Does this help you?

Yes, very much. You are offering ideas which apply to, not just writing, but to other creative and even mundane aspects of life. Even when one knows these things it is important to revisit them and to have them as articulately put as you do, is encouraging. Like, I suspect, a lot of writers here, we are unsure of whether our approach is a good way to go about things. Your posts are very affirming.

I have to admit that I'm also finding my way around, and writing about it actually helps me more than I realize. By writing ideas, I'm giving myself subtle hints to behave exactly like what I wrote, so it's a 2-way street.
