You keep writing because you realize that you’re not alone in your insecurity.

Every writer worth their salt hates their work at some point. Every writer who gives a damn about improving can see they have gaping flaws in their writing. Every writer trying to reach their audience with something worthwhile and lasting knows the only hope they have in achieving that is through rewrites and edits and patient, steady nurturing of their work.

You keep writing because sometimes the garbage will do.

Every reader with some extra time on their hands will put up with the garbage if it has good aspects mixed in. Every reader is unique and will enjoy a part of your story that you weren’t happy with. Every reader has something that’s worth removing their editors cap for, something they’d pull from the bottom of the trash heap because it focuses on that one trope they adore.

You keep writing because it’s the only way you improve.

Ever one of your writing heroes started out where you are now and every one of them earned their skills through hard work and perseverance. Every author you’ve ever loved has nothing you don’t, expect time and diligence. Every great author still has much to learn and most still struggle with their own insecurities, even when writing something their readers see as fantastic.

“Deep breath”

I SWEAR TO THE FUCKIN GODS…..

Plum pits do not contain as much as cherry, but they do. 

Do not eat stone fruit pits, people. Or bitter almonds. 

I have been wanting to use these photos for months.

The recommendation is to only eat 3 in one hour. because that is just the most filling snack and of course they will stop at three.

But then they say DON’T EAT MORE THEN 10 A DAY.

Just because it’s food for another creature doesn’t mean it’s fine for you.

Best case scenario it’s like grass which is basically neutral- it’s generally not going to kill you but there’s no nutrition for humans in it, and enough will probably make you sick.

Worst case scenario it’s something like belladonna berries which taste sweet but will kill you stone cold dead.

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.
