Write

Overly self conscious tendencies in writing unavoidable.
I need to define what and what not to write about.
All good writers seem well defined and principled in their choice of topic and approach. I must come up with similar (yet distinct) guidelines so as to maintain coherency, cohesion, etc., whatever.
I must be better at choosing the right word instead of listing several options.
People are attracted to decisiveness.
I must give up the idea of passing off my musings as those of a fictionalized character.
I am not that creative, and am far too transparent.
That's okay.
You may well know me through my words.
Don't use sentences just because they seem archaic and sound cool.
Limit your adjectives per sentence.
Don't be so vain:
Who do you think you are, writing yourself rules and guidelines for your own writing?
You are desperate, pathetic, and far too eager for acceptance.
Not only that, you are irreverently confident enough to parade your flaws as uniqueness.
Poor disguise, plea for sympathy.
It's just impossible to escape me.

Stop rhyming.
