RE: Worst Advice for Writers

in Freewriters14 hours ago (edited)

If you grew up, like me, not a part of a creative family it's a fight to do what you like and therefore are good at.

Should we write for those around us, others or us? I write for me. I don't like to write (or say) what others like to read/hear. Both would feel like hypocrisy to me and take the joy away.

Should we be always be understood? Some words, lines need time to sink, others need time to reach the right persons.

Most likely it's the fear you speak out, and even without calling names 'everyone' knows you wrote about them. So be it. They are the ones looking in the mirror you hold, even though it's not in front of their faces.

Never underestimate the power of words or feelings.

There's a lot of art created (texts and paintings) in the medical world and so is among prisoners. There's a very good reason for that (and it 'cures' and steers into positivity better than pills and years of therapy can do without changing people into drugs zombies and taking their identity).

'Odd' remarks proves how uncomfortable they feel (or is it lack of creativity and intelligence mixed with guilt).

A creative Saturday, don't give up on writing.
