Hey there… It’s been a while since this topic heard from you, and I recently stumbled upon it, so I wanted to ask if you’re doing alright. How are things in the writing?

While I wait for a reply, I’ll leave something here for you. A little something to remember.

I am a panster. At least, that’s what I’m more comfortable with. Plotting and outlining is something that seems to be growing on me, both out of necessity and the love of meeting that need. But something I’ve learned, something I still struggle to apply to this day… whether pansting or plotting… is just writing. Writing messy words.

As far as writing goes I have moderate experience, a little less than three years. And in that time span I could do nothing but write messiness. Sometimes it was painful, other times quite enjoyable… but above all, whether it was awful or not, the end was what meant most. Having finished a work.

There are few things better in writing than to literally spit out words that are not great. That can be downright terrible. That is expected, and has to be or else no one would learn. The process almost always… necessarily… start out with not good writing. But it’s following through that really matters. Following through to the end. And I struggle with it.

I pray you can figure out what needs to happen, and do it.
