It's okay to experiment. But, if it doesn't work, stop it. Go back to what does work.
Over the past few years, aside from the medical issues with my wife, I tried a few various writing techniques to see if they improve how I write. Undoubtedly, none really worked to improve anything. If anything, they hindered it.
The techniques I tried revolved around outlining stories. None have seemed to work. So, it's back to what I do best. Writing on the seat of my pants. Writing in the dark. It goes by a number of names, but in the end I write the story as I sit on the computer.
Oh, sure, I may think about a story while I'm driving to work but sitting down to outline a story has never really seemed to work for me.
For the most part, what we do best is what works best.
