When you are writing your first draft:

“that part isn’t good enough” is the voice of your enemy.
“I should go back and edit that” is the voice of your enemy.
“this part is too cliche” is the voice of your enemy.
“this part is unclear” is the voice of your enemy.
“this dialogue sounds bad” is the voice of your enemy.
“there isn’t enough detail” is the voice of your enemy.
“I’m bogged down in the details” is the voice of your enemy.
“I don’t know what happens next” is the voice of your enemy.
“no one will want to read this” is the voice of your enemy.

These are second draft problems.

Write it down! Finish the draft!

“Is it any good” is future-you’s problem!

Today is a good day to remember that fiction is not programming.

You can create and enjoy dark, taboo, problematic art without it impacting your personal morals or judgement.

Yes, even if someone accuses you of romanticizing or glamorizing said dark topics.

Fiction is not programming.

Your creative work is meaningful. Your creative work is important. Your creative work should be shared with the world.

🤜 Even if it’s transgressive or taboo.

🤜 Even if it’s ‘just’ fan work.

🤜 Even if some people vocally hate it.

🤜 Even if you don’t feel like it’s good enough.

Your creative work is important. No one else will create exactly what you would.

💖 Your art and writing are important and valuable!

💖 No one else will create your ideas the same way you would!

💖 It is always good to create and share your ideas, art and writing!
