please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
This is going to sound really mean, but sometimes your writing is going to be worse. Or your drawings. Or your photography. Sometimes you just end up hitting your creative head against a creative brick wall for a while and that’s fine. You edit the piece, or you scrap it, or you start again, or you move on, and the next one will be better. Or the one after that. It’s only ever going to stop you making things if you let it, and there’s always going to be a hundred different ways to approach the same piece. Sometimes you just have to retrace your steps a little before you get there.
