Sometimes we’re so focused on the finish line we forget to enjoy the race.
Sure, it can be difficult. But you still get to decide how you’ll react to the bumps in the road.

Endland needs its heroes.
Too bad they’re young, oblivious and learning from a senile master who can hardly think straight. They would much prefer to go back to earth. And maybe eat a sandwich.

Have you ever written a character into your story and then sort of run out of stuff for them to do?
I’ve got a minor character that was important in book 1 but really takes a back seat in book 2. He’s around but doesn’t do a whole lot.
Is that alright?

Or do you just sit down and put the pen to the paper?
I prefer to have tunes playing softly and NO snacks around haha otherwise I just eat and think instead of writing.

Take a moment to lay in the grass and watch the clouds or the trees. Their movement produces a strange melancholy state about me that I rather enjoy. Like the world is passing by for a few minutes and I’m happy to be motionless as it does so.

Alright, I’ve seen some stuff where people are saying writers shouldn’t write MCs that aren’t their gender, race, religion etc.
And I’m here to say that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Writers can write any character we want from any perspective we want.

When someone asks “how’s it going?”
And you say “good.”
You’re actively committing yourself to good. But you have to believe it.
Don’t just say it. Really believe it. See if it changes your mood.

Remember: you are NOT perfect how you are. This applies to all aspects of life. And if you think you are, you’re lying to yourself and you’re stunting your future.
You can be better. Start now. Identify your shortcomings and grow.

I think anyone should be free to write any story from any perspective. White write black, gay write straight, etc etc. it requires more work to accurately capture how different walks of life would experience the events of the story, but we shouldn’t limit ourselves. Write on!
