25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing

I saw this article on Reddit and figured I'd share it with you guys. It does have its fair share of curse words, so let this be a warning.

It doesn't explicitly mention alcohol Snipes, so you should be good.

#11 for me.

I'll talk about most things, but I'll never bring up the fact that I (used to) write for a hobby.

Which doesn't make a lot of sense when I think about it, but I'm not about to question myself. I'm sure I did it for a good reason.

Well you were pretty bloody good at it too. The writing part, not the blame part.
