Even if it's garbage. I can always go back and edit or delete. "Nothing you read was written; it was re-written." Writer's block can come when you're too demanding of yourself for perfection right out of the gate.

The Tale of Nottingswood by J.R.  Young
"This was an amazing read. Loved the poetry. Quite entertaining. I can't believe I haven't read any of his works before. And apparently not many others know of this hidden gem either - Why does it not have more ratings on Goodreads?
