Don’t You Dare Make Fun of Our Writings

We will give you a villainous role in our next piece.

I’m fed up with explaining myself to people who don’t appreciate literature, be it reading or writing.

Maybe they’ve been traumatized — just a guess.

I once had a strict literature teacher who used to toss our homework out of the window from the 3rd floor, but I can credit him for my first step into writing competition.

I’ve never been so thankful for someone to throw my books like that. Thank you, Sir!

I feel like I’m looked down upon because I’m not earning a boatload of money compared to others or they think I’m not contributing anything to society.

But deep inside, I feel like they are the last ones on earth who should be telling us what to do, what not to do, or how to or not to pursue our passion, or how we shouldn’t waste our time. They give the worst advice for writers.

Being a writer doesn’t mean we can just do write-ins for applications. It takes a lot of practice, scribbling, filling pages in that little notebook, and not forgetting courage.

We don’t just write and expect others to read us. We read, we write, and we learn from each other.
