The Writer’s Manifesto
There is no wrong way to write.
This is my world; my story. It comes from my head and my heart.
I have no thematic obligations; I have no stylistic obligations.
My stories are my own; a piece of me. I will embrace the strength and the weakness.
My process is exclusive to me, and it is as beautiful as it is weird.
My style is individualistic — some will love it, some will hate it.
My characters will never be pristine, but I will make them memorable.
My story will never appeal to everyone, but I will make it appealing.
My story will never be absolutely unique, but I will make it one of a kind.
My story will never be perfect, but it will be my best.
I will never have a flawless draft — but I will have a final draft.
I will never be “finished,” but I will be published.
I may never write brilliantly, but I will write consistently.
I may never be the best, but I will never stop being better.
Some will praise my work, more will criticize it. I won’t be one of the critics.
Second-guessing myself will never improve my writing; believing in myself will.
I am the creator, the author, the editor. My judgment is the right judgment.
Follow the story. Enjoy the journey. Embrace the unusual.
I am the writer.
So I must write.
