Open Book Blog Hop – 24th August 2026

Welcome back to another Open Book Blog Hop!

Name one thing that a writer should never do.

Remember to visit my fellow writers to see what they have created. You can find their work here!

There are plenty of things I could put down for this one. I’ve learnt a fair few of them from making mistakes myself. I think, though, the one thing I’m going to say is don’t rush. If you set yourself too many timed milestones, your writing will suffer. The pacing will feel rushed, and the descriptive writing will too. I write better when I don’t paint myself into a corner time-wise. If you rush, you’ll also find yourself writing when you really aren’t in the mood but feel like you have to. It won’t be your best writing, and you’ll wish you’d actually waited for a better time. Now, I’d rather take longer breaks from writing to make sure I’m in the right headspace to enjoy my writing.

      I agree! It’s why I’ve not really written much at all of late. My brain has been too busy and full to settle down and write, but it will come soon I’m sure!
