The More You Learn About Writing, The Less You Seem To Know

The more you write, the less confidence you have in what you’re writing.

You notice every goddamn flaw like it’s screeching at you.

(If you’re writing horror, maybe it is. But I guess that would be the point, right? 😆)

The more you write, the more convinced you are that you’ll never be a ‘good’ writer — whatever the hell that is.

And then, with this weirdly inflated sense of imposter syndrome filling you, you try to seek out the wisdom of the all-powerful interwebs.

And that goes about as well as you can expect…

It pretty much confirms to you that you should give up on being a writer, drop out of the entire capitalist system, and live on beans you grow yourself on land you’re squatting on.

(I know that sounds surprisingly appealing, but don’t do that. Try to at least rent the land. 😉)

You Google ‘how to write stuff,’ ‘how to be a writer,’ ‘make my writing better,’ and ‘top writing tips.’
