With living on Tumblr, I often forget not everyone is a writer. I feel like I'm making no progress, when really I have 4 chapters.

If you're constantly running in circles comprised entirely of authors, you are always going to feel behind. You will always be competing.

Recently, I was having a casual conversation with my exposure therapist (don't ask) at the start of the session. I brought up that I was getting a lot of writing done at the minute. He asked me what I am writing and I explained it, I then apologised that it sounded so shit when I was talking about it and said I only have 4 chapters. He looked bewildered and said something that stuck with me:

"that's four chapters more than everyone I know"

Not everyone is constantly comparing their word count, some people would never even think to write a book.

I made a costuming project about my book and people I spoke to were more interested in my writing than designing, because it's not something that everyone wants to do.

Make sure you tell people about your hobby. Tell them about your silly little characters and the plot that haunts you before bed, because it will remind you that you are doing amazing.

If you wrote 100 words today, that's 100 more than most of the population. 10 words? Still more. 1 word? That one word is going towards a great masterpiece. Most people will be putting that one word into a text message.

loving me is a bit like looking into the sun. I don’t mean that I’m bright or golden; I mean that it’s absolute. It burns, it consumes, it leaves a mark. I can’t offer you a lukewarm affection. It’s either the entire ocean or a total drought.
