reminders for writers.

  • nobody gives a crap if something is overdone in fiction. what they really care about is the execution
  • having a bad day of writing does not make you a bad writer
  • tropes ≠ clichés. if someone tells you it’s wrong to use tropes, disregard the advice
  • writing in your second or third language isn’t always easy. you’re doing great
  • writing advice = tools. not rules. you’re not meant to follow every advice you read about on the internet. learn the rules so you know which ones to break
  • every writer is capable of writing a captivating story, but your story might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s ok.there will still be people out there who’ll adore it
  • it’s ok to not excel at every genre! you can write things because you think it’s fun, doesn’t always have to be a matter of writing something because you’re good at it. it’s ok to explore (and it helps you improve as a writer!)
