Promises to myself on writing

Promises to myself, on writing:

It is ok to write badly, if it means I might write well.

I don't have to throw away the bad stuff, because one day I will want to see my progress from a woman who put the dreams on the shelf, then did something great with time and effort.

I don't need others to be impressed, because I am writing for me.

I will never be offended by reviews because the people who are taking time to read what I've written are doing so with two goals in mind, to be entertained, and to help me be more entertaining and interesting to read, which makes me feel grateful.

Most importantly, I'm doing it. I know I have something inside of me that is valuable and even if I don't know how to properly express it right now, I will learn how. Then I will be blessed and I will bless others. But it really only matters that after all these years of putting my dreams on an old bookshelf, I'm taking it down, dusting it off, and going for it. And that feels amazing!!!
