Several years ago I read this book: Writing on the right side of the brain. It is really worth the time. The biggest take away was the concept of self filtering. We all do it. Well… once we aren’t a kid any more. The phrase, “out of a child’s mouth” is a real thing. Good writers have learned to remove their filter and write whatever comes into their head. It’s hard. I’ve tried. And I will try again because it it is unbelievably liberating.
