Episode description

There are so many rules in life. We have rules for school.  Rules for relationships.  Rules for driving a car, rules for functioning in society, and pretty much everything you can imagine. So, why would there not be rules for writing?  There are good rules for writing and bad rules for writing.  There are so many different ways to write but are you applying your best strategies? Today, we're going to cover 10 rules of bad writing.


Here are some questions to ask yourself as you continue into your writing journey:

  • Are you being your true self in your writing?
  • What kind of equipment do you have, is it everything you need?
  • How consistent are you with your work?
  • What is your process with your structure?
  • Do you use too many analogies?
  • How much time are you generating for perspective?


Hilary speaks about why you need to stop comparing yourself to your favorite Author/ Writer. Why would you want to sound like a knockoff version of those who you emulate when you can branch out in your writing and become someone who gets looked up to as a leader in their own creativity?
