#and to anyone else who needs it today
I don’t know what writer needs to hear this
but you can write something very plain.
You don’t have to write some genre-redefining masterpiece. You can write a story about two people very simply falling in love. You can just write a story about a person going to the store. You could, if you were so inclined, just re-write Star Wars but like, make all the names start with M.
Don’t let the fear of not-writing something transcendent stop you from just writing.
You might get uninspired, but you will always find inspiration again. You might fall off track, but you will always pull yourself up and give it another try. You might feel far behind, but you will look back and see all of the progress you’ve already made. Life is filled with highs and lows. They dance with each other in harmony, and lead you to exactly where you need to go. Let the waves teach you and guide you.
