New Writer's Digest Series for Writers

 Writer's Digest has now a series sbout mistakes made by writers. The first is here and opens with this description;

Rather, we're looking at bigger picture mistakes and mishaps, including the error of using too much exposition, neglecting research, or researching too much. This week's writing mistake is ignoring your weaknesses.

***

 Above, I mentioned that I felt like my writing wasn’t good when I’d sit down to write the plot. If you do something similar, stop now. There is simply nothing to learn in telling yourself that you’re not good at what you love—you just get in your own way. My fri I'mends helping me unpack my insecurity made me realize, too, that the process is beautifully messy, that what is on the page now in scribbles and half-formed thoughts are there for a reason—that they will become something greater in time, and critiquing them for not being perfect now is akin to stopping a haircut midway and saying it doesn’t look good.

So fellow writers, take heed when I advise you not to ignore your weaknesses. Every writer has their strengths, and your strengths are far more powerful than any weakness you think you might have—because a weakness is really just a challenge waiting for you to overcome....

Looks like this may be a useful resource.
