Stop Apologizing for Your Writing


Listen Later

I'm sorry...
this is so messy.
I'm new at this.
I'm not sure what I'm doing.
my characters ran away from me.
my plot is pretty dark.
and twisted.
the language is rough.
I'm not great at grammar.
it's so long.
it's too short.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
STOP IT!
Your art it your art, and there's no need to apologize for what you create.
Write what you want. Write what you love.
Then share it generously -
No apologies necessary.


Happy writing!
