Mahmoud Darwish, From Almond Blossoms And Beyond; “When You Are With Me,”

 A friendly reminder to please stop using self-depreciating remarks or humor about your writing. When you do so, you train your brain to believe it, to see all of the flaws, ignore all of the good points, and it drains all of the fun out of the writing experience. It also sets people’s expectations of your work when they see you don’t even have faith in your own work, and harms you in the long run.

 So, let’s all say something nice about our writing, or in the very least something neutral. Instead of ‘Sorry, this is probably terrible lol’ try ‘I had fun working on this piece’ or ‘Here it is, hope you enjoy it :)’ and see how doing this over time affects your way of thinking.

 Even if you don’t think it’s the greatest, you Wrote an Entire story By Your Self. Like, you popped it into being from your brain. HOW COOL IS THAT?! Really, super cool =D You did that, and you should be proud. Is it like your favorite author’s writing? No, but that makes it even more special because it’s a unique snowflake and no one else could have written that concept exactly like you just did. Give yourself a high five or a pat on the back, you writer you =)
