This week's #WednesdayWritingTips are about instinct. If you have a tendency to overthink, find yourself doubting, or just don't know which direction to head in, these tips are for you.

Today's #WednesdayWritingTips are about comparisons. We're often asked to come up with 'comps' for pitches but comparing ourselves to others isn't always helpful. We all know this. We've heard it a million times before. We still do it. Here's my take on it.

‘Inside that little space I carry around on my shoulders is everything that has happened to me since I was born.’ Our brains and imaginations are amazing! The only difference between writers and non-writers is that writers write it down ✍️ @davidjalmond #DBF21

8) Take a moment
Reflection is helpful. See how far you've come. List your achievements. Treat yourself.
If something isn't working, find a way to fix it or change it. Keep your focus. Keep your dreams. And motivate yourself to keep going.
Good luck!

Don't compare your story to others and think that you're not good enough. Writing isn't a competition to see who can craft the best story. Writing is about you against yourself, struggling to get a bit better each day. This a community, support each other, instead of competing.

You're going to go through time period where you have no idea what you're doing, but that's okay! It doesn't mean you're a bad writer, it's just part of the process. You will have your moment of realization where everything comes into place. You're doing better than you think.
