Ditch the rules: Forget rigid structures and find your own rhythm.

Mine your experiences: Everyday life is a treasure trove of inspiration.

Write for yourself first: Prioritize your genuine voice over external expectations.

Embrace imperfection: Don't let fear paralyze you; write freely and learn as you go.

Celebrate the journey: Find joy in the process, not just the outcome.
