Writersky is talking about writers and ages again, so it bears repeating: there is no expiration date on writers except for death. Up until your last day, you can be writing, you can be published, you can be produced, you can sell. There's no "Too late." Only you can decide when your done.

Don't let the bastards grind you down.
-Margaret Atwood.

If you are a reader who cares about the rights of the LGBTIA+ community. You should be.

I definitely get more than a few side eyes. 😂

Working in the arts is fucking HARD. Sometimes it can be absolutely soul crushing. It’s easy to say “Harden up, buttercup. It’s a contact sport, wear a helmet.” Better than that, you’ll want a support system, other creatives you can be honest and raw with. They will keep you sane. Mine certainly do.

Writing is magic, as much the water of life as any other creative art. The water is free. So drink.
Drink and be filled up.
– Quote by #StephenKing

Next week is going to be dark, hard, and for many of you, scary. It’s okay not to make your pages. It’s okay if you can’t write. The pages will wait until later. Take care of yourself. You are important, you matter, and you are worth taking care of.

🏳️‍🌈 writers where are you at???

I don’t write for fun. I write to keep my sanity.

I think there’s a misconception out there that good writing means phrasing things in a way nobody ever has or would—that if a sentence feels familiar in the mind it fails. The opposite is true. Good writing is phrasing things in a way everyone has always wanted to and recognizes in their hearts.

From, All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks.

Jonathan Harker: And how are we going to defeat Dracula?

Van Helsing: Why with the power of journaling of course!

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

James Baldwin

From Franz Kafka’s letters to Felice.

This!!

What? I’m just stating facts.

“If it can be done, it will be done.”

That’s my motto for writing. Sometimes, you have to crawl through the mud to reach that glimmer of possibility and trust that it’s worth it. Creatives, let’s keep on fighting for our dreams. Don’t turn away from the glimmer.

James Baldwin once said ““Artists are here to disturb the peace.”
Remember that fellow creatives.
