A good writing practice: write the thing. Edit the thing. Let it sit for a while. Then make it 10% better.
There’s always something to improve.
Maybe you aim for 10% better and you get 2% better. But you might get 15% or 20% better.
Works for more than just writing.

Todd Grotenhuis i struggle with “don’t critique while creating” and have at times gone so far as to use tools that prohibit editing while writing.
