As I was watching this video I kept thinking “Now I know why writing long hand works so well for me. It forces me NOT to edit.” Then BOOM! She mentioned it towards the end 😂 Great video. Thank you. For me, “editing” means structuring. Substituting the word “editing” with “structuring” just made the whole thing make so much sense!!! And when I write long hand, I cannot try and restructure anything. Thank you.

I appreciate your consistent and clear message about INFP/INFJ/empath/HSP etc. Thanks for the insight!

I thought I was an INFP, but this video hits me ...

Perhaps get a typewriter? It could force you to move forward, at least for the discovery or rough draft phase.
