Everyone needs deadlines, something I learned as a magazine editor, so seek out a simpatico writing workshop. At the very least it will give you structure, but most likely you’ll also get honest feedback and warm encouragement. Obviously, don’t follow every suggestion you receive because comments will conflict and you’ll wind up with a mess. Use your own judgment. Also, read your work aloud so you hear the cadence—or lack of—as well as unintentional word duplication. Start keeping a list of words you tend to repeat: just, always, really, so, whatever. Print your work out more than once, changing fonts, to trick yourself into reading it as if it is fresh.
