As an author, you grow twice in your writing.
You grow during your writing, and each time you finish something.
Each story you write is a stepping stone to the next thing you haven't yet written. - Wrtr #AmWriting#AmEditing#Writer#Author#Writing
It’s important that you read classic literature and myths and folklore and the great poets because then all their wisdom and weirdness and passion will be rattling around in your head and you will become a poem. YOU are the data center and no one can take that from you.
As Stephen King reminds us, the fear, resistance, and self-doubt always peak right before you write that first sentence. Once your fingers hit the keyboard, the story takes over, and the monster under the bed vanishes.
You know you are a writer when...
you have all the best ideas for writing when you're doing something else.
The struggle is real. 🤓
