Go online or into a book store and you’ll find tons of how to books. Here are 10 things that show you it’s okay to break the rules. After all, if Stephanie Meyer can make vampires glitter, it’s okay to find your own path.

1. I don’t write every day. 
2. Instead, I try to do a something writing related every day, which might be reading or watching a rom com.  
3. I type every single word you read. It’s like I’m channeling them from my brain when I write. The story spills out.
4. I can’t remember my high school typing teachers, but I’m grateful to them every day.
5. I type fast and with a high degree of accuracy.
6. I write on a laptop.
7. Once the draft is done, I print out every page and then do a hard copy line edit where I write all over it.
8. Then I have to type all that in. I can add 10,000 words to a book this way.
9. I almost never cut a scene. It happens, but it’s rare.I see the scenes in my head when I write, which is why they spill out.
10. The biggest block when I write at home is that my cats try to help.
