Making new material with the old

A piece of advice I’ve found very useful is work with what’s in front of you. I’ve found myself applying this in single, short, writing sessions as well. For example, writing a blog post or outline without opening a new tab, using only my lived experiences as research. Writing a social media or newsletter by using whatever I’ve written at this blog as a first draft. Or, coming up with a new idea with the existing research, not finding new research to surface a new idea. It’s a useful constraint to balance out overcorrecting. What will you grow in your mud?
