Reminds me of this classic meme I used to share w my high school students. Worldbuilding is a GREAT way to avoid the danger of possibly writing something bad. Writing lore feels like writing but without the stakes because the hypothetical story that exists in your mind will never disappoint you.

What if, instead of trying to have a productive writing day, you aimed for a satisfying one instead?

Someone just asked me for writing tips, and my gut level response was "all writing advice is fake, just read books you like and write as much as you can and eventually something will be good" but then I thought about it and I had some actual advice!
1. Read! Your work! Out loud!

This is... actually not the worst fiction-writing advice I've heard.
This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

All preparation is writing. All editing is writing (as the saying goes: "Writing is rewriting.") When accounting for daily writing time, set yourself a goal of pages edited or pages outlined. The work you do up front and on the back is literally replacing the work from some other phase of writing.
Do you count editing / planning / polishing in the daily writing goal? Sometimes I don’t feel I have a great grasp on what’s next, so working on polishing what I’ve already written helps me get a handle on the bigger picture and improves the work I’ve done, but isn’t “new writing”
