Give yourself permission to think the thoughts you have. And permit yourself to write out those thoughts and share them.
Give yourself permission to write bad material, to laugh at it and learn from it. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. Give yourself the right to struggle, to have difficulty writing. Give yourself permission to use imperfect words and imperfect ideas.
Give yourself permission to get discouraged, frustrated, even angry.
But don't quit writing. That's not permitted.
