sj-flemings-writing:

If there’s anything my 3-ish years of writing and using the internet to promote that writing has taught me, it’s that literally every writer doubts their own work, every writer is convinced they’re the odd one out who is somehow shittier than everyone else, and every writer feels blocked and unable to write. At least, some of the time. 

And if you’re a fan of a writer, I implore you to tell them that you like their work, send them an ask, a message, post a comment, tell others who might be interested about them. It helps us so much, motivates us to write more, do more, learn more. 

Show some love to your local writers, alright? We’re people who have good days and bad days just like everyone else, and you telling a writer about how much you like their stuff is easily the difference between a good and a bad day for them.
