#WritersCoffeeClub 16 September. What was the hardest writerly lesson for you to learn? Or unlearn?
Always, always, edit yourself before anybody reads it. And be sure to sleep at least once between writing and editing!

Very true.
What I have also learned is that I should proofread the text in a different "format" than the one I have written it in.
For example, while I do most of my writing on my desktop PC, I proofread it on my reMarkable e-ink tablet (I used to print them out, but this way it's more convenient). Reading the text on a new device in a different context helps trick my brain into accepting the text as "new", and thus force it to pay more attention to the details.
