❣️All fiction writing is serious writing.

❣️Alternately, no fiction writing is serious writing.

❣️Don’t let people shame you for what you want to write, or tell you you should be writing something else.

❣️You are not ‘wasting’ your talent by writing fanfiction, or by writing rp, or by writing fantasy novels, or by writing smut, or by writing anything else that you enjoy writing.

❣️Don’t worry about the opinions of others when you are crafting the stories that you want to tell.

❣️When you share your writing, it will find its audience. The smaller the audience, the more excited they will be that you shared your work.

❣️Write the stories that you want to write, without letting anyone tell you what you ‘should’ be writing.
