Why Write

 Reason 1,235, but a good reminder.

Writing Needs Ego (and that’s okay)

Ego makes you write, because you are integral to creation. It literally comes out of you, specifically. The desire for it to be good, beloved, accepted, or the temptation to outsource the hard part in favor of sparing our emotional stability, is an act of pride. Both are intrinsically tied to the act of creation. Believing your work is important enough to dedicate time to is the first step. Continuing to do so in the face of countless pressures saying you can’t, shouldn’t, or won’t, is every step following.

Art is dismissed enough as it is. We can’t keep dismissing ourselves too.
