Keep Your Hand moving

"When you sit down to write，whether it's for ten minutes or an hour, once you begin, don't stop.

What is the purpose of this? Most of the time when you write, we mix up the editor and creator. Imagine your writing hand as the creator and the other hand as the editor. Now bring your two hands together and lock your fingers. This is what happens when you write.

If you keep your creator hand moving, the editor can't catch up with it and lock it. It gets to write out what you wants. "Keep your hand moving" strengthens the creator and gives little space fro the editor to jump in.

Keeping your hand moving is the main structure for writing practice."
