In her book, The INFJ Writer*, Lauren Sapala discusses how important new words are, how crucial it is to write fresh material, not to simply edit and polish.

I am not saying I agree with the whole Myers Briggs test — but it is uncanny how accurate it is for me. (I shall discuss this more on my website…)
Write new words. Simple. 30 minutes a day and, in 10 days, I now have a 10k+ story, nearing the Pointy End.
*worth a read if you are a writer and fall into this category and, yes, that’s me, INFJ through and through.
