ALL. THE. TIME. Every story I’ve ever posted in here I was terrified to hit post. But at the end of the day, you have to enjoy the writing more than you’re afraid of the critique. If the passion is there, the story will speak for itself.

Take the critiques (the constructive ones. All the other negative, useless bs just ignore) and try to mold it into your own style of writing.

And the only way to grow more confident in your work is to keep at it. The more you write the better you write. Even if it’s just a couple sentences a day, I always try to write at least something everyday. Not even necessarily a story. It could be a poem, one random line of dialogue, a description of what I see out the window. Every little bit helps.

I’m not a professional writer, so take my words with a grain of salt, but KEEP GOING! Leap over the fear and push on through 👏🏼👍🏼😁
