I’ve had students who have given up because they felt they didn’t write as well as their favorite author.
When we compare ourselves to people who have been practicing their skill or trade for a long time, we’re setting ourselves up for disappointment.
Writing is a skill that takes a long time to master, and master well.
This week promise yourself not to compare your work or style to other writers.
You’re your own writer and you’ll get to the level of these favorite authors one day (but only if you don’t give up).
What an encouraging message !

I never compare myself to anyone because I’m me, and they’re them. We each have our own voices.
