As a part exercise and part educational, I am writing a series of how not to be a writer. At this point, this is all rough drafts and not polished, for the most part. This is in raw form. That's how you are not a writer--writing without polishing and putting it in front of the world for all to see.
Why is polishing important as a writer? No world-acclaimed or amatauer writer can write the perfect first draft. This draft is full of errors, stream-of-thought process where no self-editing is allowed. So many thoughts, most of them repetitive in the hopes of clarifying a though as best we can, needs to be cut out. There are also ideas that we write that shouldn't be there because it's confusing.
Not to mention the grammar, the spelling!
So, never polish your writing to make your writing stronger. This way, you will never become a writer that makes their living off what they write.
