love maka love maka

That’s exactly what it’s all about. 

The problem with the phrase “write for yourself” is that it’s shorthand for so much more than that. 

write to amuse yourself, because you are your own best audience

write to soothe yourself by giving a character the chance to do or experience something that you’re missing in your own life

write to excite yourself - have a thrilling adventure or kinky sex. Be a hero. be a villain. All from the safety of your home. 

write to express yourself, slowly and with the ability to think about which are the right words

write to improve yourself by experimenting with genres or learning new techniques - or just getting better at grammar or spelling or upping your typing speed

write to indulge yourself in exactly the kind of story you wish existed in the world, with all of your favourite characters doing all of your favourite things

write to challenge yourself with a new word count or by writing every day or by finishing a story with 30+ chapters
