Thanks for this. Needed to hear it. Finishing up a memoir about healing from childhood trauma with the help of psilocybin and DMT. Only a 250 page book but these projects are NOT easy. Appreciate the encouraging words.
Thank you. I've been writing on and off for nearly a decade, just, never got around to being able to finish much. I'm striving to try and hit 1k words a day on average coming up soon. it's not much, but in two months that's a novel. Over a year... well. Art is the human soul made manifest...
...for others to partake in. Small parts of ourselves that we can share with others. So long as it's authentic, of course. Too often I've seen advice to just follow trends, to write whatever gets you sold. It's mostly a luck game, knowing somebody in publishing, so without that, just, be yourself.
This is exactly what I needed to see. I've been intimidated starting my story regarding our current political issues, but I think that's something that's needed right now and as an artist I need to let it out.
