DAILY SHORTS — DAY 23
Revision Is Part of Writing
I did not write a new Daily Short yesterday, but I still worked on my writing habit.
Yesterday, I did not write a new Daily Short, but I still worked on my writing.
The day before, I took a pen and a piece of paper and wrote my Daily Short by hand. Because I had not published it yet, it was time to revise the handwritten text. I made some changes to make it easier to understand.
Revising is important too, so it was right to do that first. Today, I thought I should explain it because this is a 30-day writing challenge to rebuild my writing habit.
InshaAllah, if God wills, it will become my next book. I think it could be useful to people. For the book, I will collect all the days in one file and include some thoughts too.
What I can say is this: when rebuilding a writing habit, it is not important what you write.
