Everything I Learned About Writing

Writing must come from you. You have to give it your all. Don’t mess around and half-ass it. You have to put your mind into your writing. Better yet, you have to put your heart into writing. Everyone has their own style of writing, whether its funny, sad, depressing, uplifting, or drama; you have to find your niche. Write what feels right, if you’re good at writing sad stories, then make something shitty happen to your character to make us understand and sympathize. If you can make people laugh with your stories, then do it. You have to leave everything you have in your writing.

            Writing must come from the heart.

Tyler, I appreciate your imperative voice here. And I've also appreciated how honest you've been with your work this year. You're a happy soul, and that come through in everything you write.

I'm glad your perspectives on writing is similar to mine. Indeed, writing must come from the heart. A person's word is unique to him or her and you successfully got that across.
