There are days when I sit down to write and the cursor just blinks at me. My fingers hover over the keys. I tap something out. Backspace. Type again. Backspace again. There are simply times when I am convinced that every word at my fingertips is utter crap. We've all been there. Sometimes what I'm writing probably is crap but every bad sentence gets me closer to a good one. Author Tahereh Mafi reminds us all not to be afraid to write bad books. Or blogs. Or whatever it is that we write.
that's why you have to allow yourself the luxury of writing for the sake of writing -- writing because you love to do it, because you're having fun with your characters, because you lie awake at night thinking about what might happen to them while you're gone. because ultimately, published or unpublished, every single manuscript you write will be invaluable to your efforts.
every single story you write will help you to hone your craft.
you can't be afraid of your own creative efforts. don't fear failure.
