Note to my 15 year old, Beginning to Write Fiction


dive deep, beginning fiction writer

do not make the exciting process of exploration wrong


be curious as any new explorer would be

and take chances


break hearts

fall down

get up again

and

see how far you can stretch your sense of self

str-et-ch

until it dissolves and you realize you wrote something you did not know was possible

in your limited sense of self


you are unlimited

when you tap into creativity


free the process from encumbrances


let the currents take you into waters far from here and now

and do not be frightened by the seemingly strange shores you land upon


kindness (and later editing) will soften your landing


be free

and write!



Wishing you so much joy as you find your voice, writing your way through 2021!

Love you my sweet C!

xoxo

Love your ma!


Thanks for reading!

Jill
