An inspirational piece for struggling writers

Keep Writing

Keep writing.

It doesn't sound right?

It doesn't seem clear?

Keep writing.

It isn't interesting?

It doesn't seem to catch an audience?

Keep writing.

You hate what you wrote?

Keep writing.


Someone once told me writing is just like any other sport or art form. The only way to get better at it is to practice it DAILY! Professional athletes did not go pro by only going to practice once a week. Famous musicians did not make it by practicing a few times a month. Every skill and talent we have must be honed and practiced daily for success. Maybe today you write something you love, and tomorrow you write something so awful you throw it away. At least you wrote.

No matter how bad your writer's block gets, keep writing.

Even if it is just random words on a page in no particular order with no particular purpose-- at least you wrote.

Even if it does not reflect what you believe or who you are-- at least you wrote.

Every time you write something, you figure out more of who you are, less of who you are not, and are able to better organize your thoughts and passions into words.

Whatever you do, just keep writing! You will be satisfied with the results one day so long as you keep practicing and keep enjoying your beautiful talent!

Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
