…Which Means the Writing World Needs You
Everyone can write. (Notice I didn’t say everyone can write well…) But everyone has ideas and a lot of people want to get them down on paper, which is one reason why it’s so hard to get published.
And that can get discouraging, right? Writers are a dime a dozen. And if so many people can do it, what does that say about you?
It actually says you’re indispensable. You’re irreplaceable.
There may be a lot of writers, but no one else has the same idea as you. And even if they did, no one else could execute that idea the same as you.
If you were to build a car and gave up half way through, someone else could come along and finish it. If you were to write a novel and gave up half way through, no one else could come along and finish it. No one else has the same vision in your head, the same turns of phrases, the same plot ideas.
Which means, if you don’t do it, if you don’t write the idea in your head, it will be lost to the world forever.
I personally find that pretty motivating. If I don’t do it, no one else will. And since I think my ideas are kinda good, and I think the world deserves them, then I guess I better stick with it.
Everyone may be able to write, but not everyone is you. You’re one of a kind. 🙂
