I Spent My Christmas Eve Evening Slightly Tipsy And Helping Her Edit A Chapter - Tumblr Posts

This is a super super gentle reminder not to put your favorite authors on a pedestal. We're real people living average lives and not trying to be influencers. We criticize ourselves enough and we don't want to be held to an invisible standard (we start to worry we fail to exceed our own selves) or compared to other writers (we are not competing) or tailor our craft to cater to a wider audience (the right people will find you).

**all of this**
my sister is trying to get into writing and she’s only been doing it for a few months now
I’ve been writing for nearly a decade
I spent my Christmas Eve evening slightly tipsy and helping her edit a chapter
she’s going to have all the encouragement I wish I had when I was starting out
I’m kinda tempted to show some of old writing to drive home the point that it’s a long process
even now I make mistakes and that’s valid as hell
everyone’s art deserves to exist
even if it’s bad
