We are all our own prisons, and our own jailers.

Separate the processes of creation from improving. You can’t write and edit， or sculpt and polish， or make and analyze at the same time. If you do， the editor stops the creator. While you invent， don’t select. While you sketch， don’t inspect. While you write the first draft， don’t reflect. At the start， the creator mind must be unleashed from judgement.

"I wanted to write about the Windrush generation because their story is part of British history, but it's a story that hasn't been told enough."
