It’s okay

As a writer, we get told what is “okay” and “not okay” for us on how to respond to criticism, to support, and everything in-between. But I’m here to tell you:

It’s okay.

It’s okay to have a plan for your story. It’s also okay to wing it.

It’s okay to update daily, weekly, monthly, yearly. It’s okay, because you’re putting yourself out there.

It’s okay to be disappointed with that review. Or the lack of reviews. And it’s ok to be excited when one comes into your inbox. But’s also ok NOT to be ok.

It’s okay to feel disappointment.

It’s okay to feel as if you’re writing to a brick wall.

It’s okay to feel sad when someone else is more popular/recommended than you.

It’s okay to feel like you’ve fallen off of the map. That you’ve lost favor of your audience.

It’s also okay to take pride in your work

And be excited for yourself, even when no one else is.

It’s okay to show off all of that hard work!

It’s okay to recommend yourself.

It’s okay to recommend your friends.

It’s okay to not like everything you read.

It’s okay to not like everyone you meet.

It’s okay to write back to every review

Or none of them at all.

It’s also okay to take a break for mental health/for family/because you damn well want to.

It’s okay to get jealous.

It’s okay to wonder.

It’s ok to FEEL.

Because when we feel

The words come.

And it’s okay if they don’t come at all.

It’s okay, because you’re human.

The only thing that is never okay

Is to let that negativity drive you to a place where you act on it.

Because at the end of the day

It’s all going to be

Okay.
