What does taking a leap of faith look like to you? Take a second to close your eyes and dream up that future you want as a writer.

When you are challenged in your passion and you have people to support you through life, your writing will reflect that.

I needed people who would challenge me to be brave because I had never felt truly daring before I met them.

I’ve been listening to Birdy a lot whenever I write a certain WIP since it matches the mood I’m going for.

One of the things I have heard the most is that you cannot wait until you're inspired or motivated to do something,

I want people to see that there are avenues for them to feel themselves and people will want to hear what they want to say.

Sometimes we’re not ready and we’ll bolt out of the room, but what if you stay? What if it works out? What if you find people who get you?

I think I tend to focus way more on my characters because it has been hammered into me that characters are the story.

The outlining process can take a lot of time, but I find that most of the time it does help out a lot when you actually start writing.

As I said, ideas can come from anywhere, but sometimes you can’t just sit around and wait for an idea to come to you.

The only way to really get better at something is to do it, and that’s all I’m hoping to do during this entire process.

You can advocate for yourself and for others. It doesn’t matter how small the act is.

Are you tired of identifying as “tortured?” Do you want to start treating yourself with the self-love you deserve?

If I had a quarter for every time someone told me that I have a lot of stuff, I could pay off my student loans.

To the Lost Writer: I like to think that I chose writing. Maybe it’s a mix of it choosing me, like the moment when Harry finds his wand....
