Progress
When I doubt my abilities to write, I often turn to other people and ask them if I’m good at writing because I’m trying to convince myself not to give up. Look, I know that’s bad, but it’s true.
However, today while cleaning, I found an old notebook from college and found that it had multiple pieces of writing in it! I started reading it and, boy, the cringe was real.
It was all terrible.
I can post some if you would like to cringe like me
Reading the old work showed me all of the wonderful progress that I have made in these past two years. My writing may not be great now, but it’s leagues better than what it used to be.
When you’re feeling down and like your writing isn’t good, try to remind yourself that this is just practice. It’s allowed to be bad. Just keep pushing on; it takes time, but it is worth it ❤
