No piece of writing is worthy of destruction – yes, it may be cringe-worthy, but half-formed ideas hide between the bad grammar and spelling mistakes. These precious little insights will be nourished when the water of the muses flow. Crumbs of inspiration quickly transform into beautifully composed pieces. Never throw away any article of writing you felt compelled to manifest. Place the offensive piece of ink on paper in a dark drawer if you must. Let it grow there, like a fungus. Soon there will come a time when these little writer’s blights will provide the antidote to writer’s block.
Great to know!

Good advice, I’ve jotted down many a phrase or concept that go nowhere at the time, yet can easily bubble up later, sometimes much later to be the icing on a post. Or grow into a post of its own.

Battling an awful case of writer’s block at the moment as this is just the advice I needed to read, thank you! And I love the fungus simile here
