for those of us who love to write. :3
Do not put statements in the negative form. And don't start sentences with a conjunction. If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. Never use a long words when a diminutive one will do. Unqualified superlatives are worst of all. De-accession euphemisms. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky, Last, but not the least, avoid cliches like the plague.

hahaha. anyways. having “experience” in life is usually a good thing. it can be a major contributor to helping an individual land a career or sometimes helps create opportunities which otherwise would not be possible. even in relationships, people with “previous experience” seem to have a better reputation than those who possess no prior knowledge.
in my opinion, however, sometimes, experience is overrated. a lot. and frankly, (lookie, i'm breaking the rules of writing) it can be a whole lot more trouble than it’s actually worth. who said starting from scratch with zero ideas of what to do was a bad thing? without background knowledge, there is nothing but a clean slate and creativity to work off of. a clean slate contains no buildup of old memories, record of failures, secrets, or sins. there’s nothing that decreases the value. it doesn’t cloud perspectives or complicate matters, because what lies there is a pure, empty space, simply waiting to be filled with the scribblings of an unseasoned author, with plenty of room for mistakes along the way before the final masterpiece is completed.
