I know that we need to keep writing because that’s how we will improve…
I don’t want to use this as a crutch, or an excuse to keep churning out crap. I want to be great at writing one day.
Will I really get better by just writing a lot?
Don’t I need to actually learn.

Question for the writers! ✍️
I want to write a short story every 2 weeks starting today…
. One week - drafting.
. One week - editing.
My stories will be around 3,500-4,000.
What are your thoughts on this goal?
Sustainable? Worthwhile?
Does the need to meet goals like this affect quality?
