Do you have a tendency to feel bad about your writing, or to look at other writers and think they’re so much better than you?

This is a very harmful mindset that you should make yourself aware of and do your best to overcome!

If you keep putting yourself down for lack of skill, you’re going to end up hurting your potential at improving, because you’ll be less likely to write at all.

And the only way to improve at writing is by being persistent with that skill.

So instead of thinking:

“I will never be as good as them.”

Reframe that opinion into:

“I can learn so much from them.”

Writing is a skill and the books you’re reading may be written by someone who’s further down the path of learning & growth than you are.

But that doesn’t make you a sh*t writer.

The only sh*t writers are those who believe they don’t need growth, and don’t choose to pursue it.

I get a lot of you in comments, DMs and ask boxes putting yourselves down because your writing doesn’t quite sound the way you want it to yet.

But you have to realise that being aware of this is the first step to becoming a good and confident writer, and the second step is to KEEP AT IT. Keep going even while you think you’re doing badly. There will come a point where you write a scene, a paragraph, or even a sentence that you’re well proud of, and every time you do — celebrate it! Because it means you’re growing, and your skill is developing, and that’s all any good writer needs — persistence and growth.

Cale: He's crying over a book

Alberu: It must be one well written book for him to be bawling that bad, what's it called?
