#WritersCoffeeClub June 2: Do you have any regrets as a writer, or do you never look back?
I always look back into the past. It's what gives me a deeper appreciation and knowledge in the present and helps me make decisions that honor the future.
Regret is an extremely useful tool.
My main regrets as a young writer relate to how serious I was, it made me work through everything stoically until I burned out. And I judged myself harshly for that and led to a full on "writer's block" for years.
