There're some serious negative vibes out there about how

* you're not good enough to write a book
* who are you anyway
* you're no expert
* it's not worth it
* starving artists
* just do something /productive/
* it's narcissism to think you can make good work
Alright so I just wanted to say some shit about this

All first drafts are bad. And most second drafts. And most first books. And most second books. But you don't get to your best book until you fuck up a lot. A Lot.

I am sure @visakanv has already written THIS THREAD better
What I would like to speak to any of you that have that pregnant desire to do something. Write, make music, make a video, twitch stream, erotic manga, whatever my friends. What I have to say to you is that if you do not do it, it will slowly destroy your entire fucking life
This is not a small cost benefit thing. If you are pregnant with that thing, it will possess you. You will become a filthy terrifying old soul that hates its vessel. The cost is not what you think. That creativity in you is a curse and the only way to excise it is to exercise it
So what you have to do is just

breathe

make some space

lay in bed if you have to

and just start, and throw your phone on the ground, and keep going for a little while today, but tomorrow too

You'll be better for it, trust me
I love you all
