To those facing existential dread, asking whether they need readers to be called a "writer". Nobody disputes that a tree falling in the forest is still a fallen tree. The question is whether it made a sound. If nobody read your masterpiece, you're still a writer. The question is whether you wrote.

Please break writing "lessons", all of them. Reading for what fiction "should be" trains and limits your mind to an artificial intelligence. Always beginning with your protagonist, always establishing your time and place and stakes is expected, unless you toss it up. Trust chaos, or don't.

Just write, they say. Write what? Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill off your character.
