Those rifts are very deep and go way beyond mere viewpoints. Because of various issues that I won’t mention here, I don’t expect to see any healing in our society for the foreseeable future.
I wish I could share your optimism, but I can’t.
Good luck with your writing.

No, I’m not looking for debate or argument about it; I’ve had enough of that on Twitter, where the antagonism is toxic. For me, the whole thing, from June 2016 to the present, has been a huge and totally negative distraction, and there’s no doubt my writing has suffered.

It’s not the same as lack of preparedness, or planning, or simply taking time out to think, or refresh – it’s creative avoidance. It’s deciding other tasks are more important than the thing you claim to enjoy. And if you do that, you are uncommitted.

So, anything not connected with writing, or that stops you doing it, is ‘real’. Hmmm.

Like some others, I can’t write and leave mistakes in. It slows me down, but I’m not concerned. I prefer 25k good words rather than 50k error-riddled ones.

The advice that really counts is to ensure you remove all typos, formatting errors etc. as it shows you are concerned with detail.

I think it’s easier if you’re writing a specific genre. With genre-bending it becomes more difficult.

Most likely they won’t, but not because my novel is commercial. I describe it as supernatural / slipstream / literary (and too long for commercial).
