If you have a story, tell it
I appeared on the Eponymous Podcast and asked what my advice to aspiring writers is.
Writing is hard. It's the practice of tearing apart sensitive parts and piecing them back together. Writing is thankless. It's an undertaking that requires immense patience and guarantees no reward.
In times like these, art is one of the only avenues of escape. It's really the only way to rebuild what's been lost and to translate what's been misunderstood. That's why it's so vitally important to tell your story. Don't let arbitrary limitations keep you from putting your writing out there.
There's a lot of advice out there about how to write. I think there's a small contingent that harps on being precise and "correct." Adhering to word counts for their own sake can strangle the creative process.
I implore everyone with a story to get it out. Write it down. Don't worry about punctuation or word length. Simply get it down and show it to someone. It matters.
