yeah, we all need reminders once in a while (write these on a sticky note)
1. stop comparing yourself to other writers, it’s not going to get you anywhere except a pit of despair.
— rather, look up to other writers! study their style how they work implement it into your lifestyle
2. you’re still learning, writing & literature are vast you can’t know everything you’ll get better.
— according to me, you never stop learning new things, its be because writing encompasses everything i can think of
3. your writing style is going to be different.
— and you should let it differ from other styles because it’s you.
— again feel free to adapt bits & pieces of other writing styles but don’t lose yours in the process :(
4. not everyone will like your book.
— a novel is like a refined version of a person. do all the people who know you admire you? nope
— same for your novel only some people will enjoy it, relate with it so be grateful for those people, do better for them.
— skilled writers differ from talented writers (i’m not saying either sides lack skill/talent but one of the features is recessive)
— for me? im a skilled writer i learned writing for my own reasons and i do still compare myself to a lot of talented writers because words flow like a river in their minds, i envy it.
— however both are equally important <3
6. the real world? yea, that exists…
— so sorry to disappoint you guys but its not just dragons and wizards. we have an actual sky get out of your houses
— food, water, school and your job
— writing is addictive, you can say, “it’s like your own personal brand of hër0!n”
— you’re dutiful to your passion but you also need to focus on your responsibilities and priorities them!!
