The second way to really create writer's block for yourself is following the wrong guidelines. Because there are a lot of people offering their advice offering their wisdom as to what good writing looks like. There are plenty of people that tell you old writing has to be formal. Whereas if you're writing something from a marketing perspective, that will almost certainly bite you in the butt unless you've actually really planned for it. There are people who say that an email has to be between 308 hundred words long if you want to capture someone's attention. That's not true.

I've I write email marketing things all the time. And any length works as long as it serves the purpose. There are people who tell you that an essay needs to have three arguments in it. If your essay is stronger, or really having two or one of them having seven than that. The guideline you should be following. There are a lot of all of these guidelines were originally created, I think, because people had no idea how to start.

Like there are a lot of amateurs who like how do I write an essay. And someone says, just keep in the back of your mind, aim for three arguments. And that's actually not bad advice, because the rest of the essay will fill in from it from that. If, however you treat that, like it's a rule, even if you treat it as like a recommendation, you could very well be trapping yourself in a set of guidelines that aren't really right for what it is you're trying to create.
