Writing Reminders

This is your reminder that:

• You can can be happy and still be a writer
• You don’t have to kill your characters to create conflict
• You can write happy, fluffy stories and still be a “real” writer
• Write what makes you happy, not what you think will sell
  • (Though if those happen to overlap, great!)
• You can be unpublished and still be a writer
• You can have lots of time between publications and still be a writer
• You don’t have to write every day
  • You don’t have to have a wordcount goal for every day, or a wordcount log
• You don’t have to torture your characters
• Not every story needs life or death stakes
• You can write a story with zero conflict that’s still a good story
• Your fanfiction is real writing
• You don’t need any particular software (or software at all) to be a writer
• Just because someone doesn’t like your work, doesn’t mean it’s bad

Hang in there, everyone. <3
