It's Okay Your Writing Isn't Like So-and-So's
1. Published work has teams of people behind it
Traditional (and even lots of indie) published work has not just the writer’s drafts behind it, but drafts that have been through professional editors, agents, beta readers, etc. etc. etc. They say writing is a solitary career, but there are tons of people behind every published work to make it better.
2. Every style is different and valid
Yours might not look exactly like other people’s work. That’s because everyone has their own voice in writing, and that’s what makes every writer individual, and every story worth reading.
3. You’re the only person who can write your story
Style, your ideas, your characters, and every other detail in your story is built off your all your little life experiences and interests. It will look different for every person even if you all tried writing the same idea.
4. Everyone has different skills and experience levels
You may be really great at dialogue, while someone else may be really good at action. Everyone has different skills and areas they’re better or worse at. It’s okay.
5. People will love it anyway
You’ve probably heard of the cake saying? Someone else makes a beautiful cake, you make a just okay cake, but the person that comes along to eat them is just excited there’s two cakes.
               People just want more content. They will read the same content over and over again. They will love it anyway.
Anyone have anything to add?
