Most of the time, we get so caught up in making everything perfect that we forget it’s okay to just write something—anything—and shape it later. Those four tips are solid, but I'd also add that the real magic happens when you let go of that pressure and just start typing away.

Agreed! Such a great point. And I wonder if, in this age of robot writing, the ever-so-slightly imperfect writing is stronger and more emotional in the end.

Oh yeah, the AI tools we have are no better than calculators. - They never skinned a knee, had their heart broken, or lacked the confidence to put pen to paper. - Imperfect writing with personality stands out a mile off.
