Nothing new

‘I think new writers are too worried that it has all been said before. Sure it has, but not by you.’Asha Dornfest.I feel like we creatives sometimes find whatever excuse we can to self-sabotage. You know, because we’re tortured artists and life is tough.Don’t let the above quote be true of you. Think about it...no other person on the planet has had or will have the same fingerprints as you. Ever. And on top of that, it’s actually not possible for another human to have exactly the same life experiences as you. Think about it...every single detail of your life, it’s uniquely yours. Sure there may be some similarities and overlap, but not entirely the same. It’s actually impossible. You have unique experiences to draw from.You are a one and only. No one will be able to say or convey something the way you do, with all that you bring. So, please don’t self-sabotage—there might be someone on the other side of your writing that has never heard what you have to say.
