For me it was advice from Dan Harmon: “Don’t try to prove you’re a good writer, you’ll never write anything. Try to prove you’re a bad writer and you’ll write everything.” Not perfect advice but it really does help me write when I’m being overly critical of my ideas.

  • Now this isn’t an advice, but I’m gonna share it anyway.

    One of my family members knew that I wrote a lot of stories and poems and told me to stop wasting time writing them.

    And when I think about it this way, I stop overthinking my stories and poems because at the end of the day, nobody is reading them except me.
