Write and then,,, Let it “rest” for a while.
Copy “improvements” can sometimes deaden the excitement the writer initially brought to the writing.
Better to write and then back off.
Lao-tzu*** discussed letting things go in his Tao Te Ching:
“In the pursuit of knowledge,
every day, something is added.
In the practice of the Tao,
every day, something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things.
……
True mastery can be gained
by letting things go their own way.
Mastery can’t be gained by interfering.”
*** Lao-tzu, quoted from Verse 48 of the Tao Te Ching, A New English Version by Stephen Mitchel, HarperPerennial, a Division of HarperCollins Publishers, 1991, New York.
