Always looking forward to your posts, Sid. They're very helpful for freelance writers like me.

I agree with a lot of your points. When I am given with a topic, I start with a lousy title and stare at the blank document. Then, I go outside the garden and just think. What questions do my target audience possibly wants answered? Then, slowly ideas come rolling in. The writing process is weird and creative haha!

Then comes the editing. Sometimes I think the writer and the editor in me are completely different persons. Sometimes, I hate what I write lol. But I just need to take my mind off it at least a day, and read it again. As if reading it again for the first time. The mind gets clearer.

Anyway, I find your post thought-provoking. Looking forward to more of your posts!
