A poet friend once advised me: “it’s not your guts, don’t make it precious to you, just write what comes, it’s not identity or possession, mine it later for good bits”.
Write garbage for a few minutes when you start. Plan on throwing that away. Warm up. Stretch the brain then put it to work. It’s low risk.
