do you ever write something and then come back to it the next day and delete it? I have started taking parts out that I like and improvising them lately instead of deleting everything; I highly recommend trying that.

I think thats a really good habit to start now! Thanks for the reminder, I really need to remember that editing (or recycling) is a more sustainable option than the waste-bin.
I've done that before, many times. But some writings I haven't, some have a spark about them that I can't just redo. There's also something ever so welcoming about having mistakes and errors in your past writings, so when a month or 2 rolls around you can see where you were with your writings and how you used to write. Sometimes I'll look at other peoples writings and see a spelling mistake or grammar mistake, but I don't really notice it all that much because I'm not reading it to criticize- I'm there to read a possibly beautiful and life-changing writing.
It also reminds me that I can make mistakes too and it's okay if a writing from yesterday isn't as good as one I could do today.
Anyways, sorry for such a ramble. Hope you have a lovely rest of your week!
