First one: writing should give you joy! I should write stories I'll want to read as a person.
Two: I'm in no competition with anyone! This i should repeat to myself 😁
Third: it's okay to take a break, find my bearings and move on!
Fourth: I must not be a popular writer!
I've always love writing but I never saw it as a 'gift' until after my Nysc and now I've pressured myself to write a certain way that for a long while now I've not written anything! I've just being reading books
But with this, I'll take my own baby steps and wait for my steps to mature.
I understand that feeling of wanting to write in a certain way. There's was a time to when I thought I only had to write traumatic stuff or focus on the hardships of being woman and African. But as I grew older I learnt as important as those stories are, I don't enjoy writing them and they are not our only reality.
I'm glad you got something out of this. Thank you for always, Esther.
While reading I got so many gems💐❣️
