Writing advice
Real talk here, especially for writing longer works:
You need to trust yourself to pull it together by the end, even if you think you’re going completely off the rails. The trust might be unfounded, hell, you might even be wrong, but you need to do it.
Trust your story. Trust the point you want to get across. Trust your subconsciousness to get it right. Because the moment you start to doubt and second guess yourself, you stall. Get to the end, then you can see if you succeeded or not.
Trust yourself.
“Trust yourself”.
In writing, in creating, in art - TRUST is the most important word. Creativity - creating something from scratch - is inherently risky. Creativity is scary. It’s going into the unknown jungle without a map. It’s picking your way in the dark, hoping you might find the light switch - or fall off a cliff.
And it requires a great amount of courage. And courage only comes with TRUST.
There’s a reason why TRUST is my word of the month, folks. Trust yourself. Trust your story. Trust that even though you don’t know what you’re doing right now, you’ll know it, sooner or later, if you keeping moving forward, and - guess what? it’ll feel fricking amazing when you do.
