Once is not enough

If you've only experienced something once, you most likely haven't really experienced it.

Chances are that all the new and the beautiful and the surprising are too much for you to really absorb when you only do something once.

If you are trying to describe something from the point of view of someone who is living it for the first time, having lived it once may be enough.

But if you want to describe something from the point of view of someone who knows it, who has made it part of their routine, and who lives it regularly, make sure that you haven't only lived it once.

At least one of your readers most likely has, and you don't want them calling you out on your simple one-time mistakes.
