Write the Thing That You Think You Cannot Say

It’s less scary on the page than it is in your head

“Once you put that down on the paper, you gain power over the truth. It’s so much scarier in your head than it is on the page. Once it’s on the page and you look at it, you’re like, ‘Okay. I’ve got you. You’re not a monster anymore. I can tame you.’

I would say for writers to do that and to never give up. When people tell you your story’s not compelling or your writing is nothing special — I’ve heard those things before. Don’t give up. That’s your story. Nobody can tell it the way that you can.”
