This is a quick one today.
So remember this…
Writing can be an escape. Writing can be an act of optimism. Writing can be an act of resistance. Writing can be rage, spite, power. It can be the way out, or the way in. Stories have meaning. Your stories matter. Your art matters.
It’s tough out there if you’re the one sitting behind the keyboard and banging away endlessly at something that doesn’t feel like taking shape just yet.
We need your art, your soul and everything else in between.
As the world seems to become colder every day, this is the time for you to keep going.
Whether you’re running on tight deadlines for some ad copy that needs to go live or if you’re struggling to kill off a character in a story you’re writing…
You just need to keep going.
And if you want escape for a little moment and figure out this craft a little more…
On Writing by Charles Bukowski might be able to rip you out of the looming burnout you might be feeling.
