I would take this one step further and say don’t think about your readers, don’t think about other writers, and don’t think about your inner critic. Close your mind to external forces, the naysayers, the prophets of doom. Gag the voice in your head telling you, you are not good enough, your story not clever enough, your word choice not descriptive enough. Push them from your writing space and lock the door. Immerse yourself in your story, live your story, write the story only you can write.
Eventually, you can unlock the door, but today, write.
What are the demons that impede your writing?

I have long kept the door closed to those who wish me to write only what they want to see. Trolls have not appeared on my blogsite for four years now.
