Attention writers! Yeah, you. It looks like you have a story to tell.
I can see it, just itching to get out of you, pulling at the corners of your mouth and making your one eye not open properly because you're thinking about it.
It's time to do something about it.

"UGH, BUT I DON'T WANT TO, I'M HAPPY CONTORTING MY FACE IN AN EFFORT TO I IGNORE MY HEART."
No. Just no. You need to share it. Because all that weird itchiness you feel in your heart? It goes away when you start writing.
Don't get me wrong: it's deeply uncomfortable.

But not doing it is worse. Trust me on this. TRUST ME.
You're probably scared your work isn't good. And it might not be. But it can't get better until you make a first draft and revise it. You can't get it out of bad until you get it out of your head.
So it's time to do that.

Jot down a couple notes. Write an email to yourself. Open a Google doc. Buy a gorgeous moleskin notebook and then write all your ideas on post-its instead because moleskin is pretentious and intimidating. Forget to bathe. Forget to eat. Forget to sleep.
But write. Write.
But write. Write.
