TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO MAKE ART.
The only way to overcome fear and doubt is to go against them.
You don’t have any control over anyone’s feelings. You can’t make your parents feel proud of you. You can’t make anyone like you. You can’t make anyone love you. You can make it easier for them, by sacrificing your time and energy, but you ...
Writing is more than just a method to tell stories. It’s a way to find healing, and to healing others.
Let your story grow. Let it surprise you, and it will certainly surprise your readers.
Description is the color in the canvas of your story.
Do you think you’re not ‘ready’ to start that big story idea/project you’ve been thinking about forever? Jump in. Write anyway. The only way to make the impossible a reality is to take a leap of faith.
If you wish to be a writer– then write, and don’t allow anyone to tell you that you’re on the ‘wrong’ path. You know where you’re going, and each word you write gets you a step closer.
Writing is an adventure. There is no way to know where it will take you, and what you will find. You could find success. You could find fans. Or, best of all, you could find yourself.
Make today the day you begin that awesome idea you have had for years. Now go, write this book, and remember that today is an important day in history.
There is no ceremony, no initiation ritual, no secret hand-shake. All you need to be a writer is to write.
Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is beyond our reach. The best time to write is now, in the present.
You think you have no ‘talent’? Write anyway. lots of people with ‘talent’ don’t actually act on it. As long as you write, you will learn, you will improve, and you will be better than anyone claiming to have ‘talent.
You will not publish 100% of the books you don’t write.
You’re writing someone’s ‘future’ favorite book.
You were meant to write this book.
If you were waiting for a sign that you’re meant to be a writer… THIS IS IT.
Stop beating yourself up over all the days you didn’t work on your story. Focus on what you can do today. Sit down, and write.
All great writers share one thing in common: They finished their books.
All great stories began as shitty first drafts. There are no exceptions to this.
