I want to be a writer but I think I put too much pressure on myself. How do you find the ability to say “what I have to say is worthwhile and important,” and also “it’s not so important so as to scrap it if it isn’t a perfect overnight sensation.” ?
Doesn't matter what you're creating or saying. A thousand attempts will go nowhere. One might change your life. You have no way of knowing.
Shift your perspective. Write because you want to write. Write because you have something to say. Write to figure yourself out. Write because you have to channel your energy into something.
If you're creating to go viral, to get likes and views and notoriety, it's just not sustainable. Even if you succeed, you'll burn out.
The people that make it in this industry are the ones who persevere.
Gotta do it for the love of the game.
