Listen, romanticize your writing. Just fucking do it. I don't care how recently you started writing, find the things that you love about your writing and build the foundation of your belief in yourself from there. Even if you put your first words down on paper yesterday, there is something compelling you about a story that came from your own brain that is keeping you here. Find those things and love them. That's the only way you ever get to a place of saying, "I am a great writer and I like what I have written."

#writeblr #writing inspiration #writespo #writing positivity #this post brought to you by my shower plotting #I was thinking about my wip going 'what if I include this as a plot point to serve this theme'#and was like 'am I gonna have to rewrite parts of what I already have to make that feel cohesive?'#and then realized I'd already set it up #because I know I'm good at patterns! I know I'm good at cohesive themes because of that!#and I was like 'I'm a great writer! this is excellent!'#and then I got sad cuz! I say that to myself all the time! it really helps me! even when I don't believe it I say it!#and I know so many people don't and I genuinely think it helps your self-esteem with writing #just like removing self-deprecation from your vocabulary helps your actual self-esteem #anyway just do it #idgaf
