you know that expression, “dance like no one is watching you?”

try writing like no one is going to read it

it’s easier to let yourself go and just enjoy the process of creation when you aren’t also playing 6 dimensional chess with your insecurities and anxieties

write because you have fun writing and if you never post it anywhere that’s totally fine because you enjoyed your time with the process

My mantras include:

  • No one has to read this if I don’t want them to.
  • I’ve gotten through crap before and turned it into something I really enjoyed.
  • People have enjoyed what I’ve already published.
  • I don’t have to write it perfectly I just have to write something.
  • Even Neil Gaiman struggles to write sometimes. (Insert anyone you want here, I guarantee everyone does.)
