As a Brit:

"go with my gut" rather than "guts", and I'd probably phrase it as "...try to go with my gut more next time".

"Oftentimes" sounds unnatural, not wrong but archaic; "Often" sounds more natural there.

"mental lexicon" is singular, but you've said "a lot more of them"; should probably be "a lot more of it". The opening of that sentence sounds a bit clipped; I might say "I believe the mental lexicon..." though that doesn't sound perfect either.

"writings" definitely sounds wrong for a collection of posts here; when you're talking about "the writings of x" it implies something more formal. I probably would've said "posts" or the like, but "writing" fits.
