Overthinking overthinking

There are some things that you're really good at. Some things that you do without even thinking about them.

Then, someone asks you how you do it, and suddenly, you are overanalyzing your every action.

Are you starting sentences differently and not always with the same word? Are you removing all adverbs? Are you using dialogue tags efficiently?

Once you start thinking about what makes your writing good, you might suddenly stop writing easily, overthinking everything you;re doing.

Take a breath. Clear your mind. Forget the rules, and get to writing.

After all, if there's a time for analysing your writing, it can wait for the editing phase.
