Go Ahead and Tell Your Story
If you have a story in your head — go ahead and tell it.
I have come across many people who’ve talked about sharing a story.
Some of the stories they want to share are fiction; others are very real yet seemingly fictional; some are allegorical; others are less about the story and more character-driven.
Whatever the case may be — if you have a story, go ahead and tell it.
Just getting the story on paper or the screen can do a lot of different things.
It might serve you. This might be the release you need to clear your mind, heart, and soul. It might free up trauma or help you understand something you can’t quite put your finger on. When you have a story to tell, it’s good to tell it for yourself.
It might serve others. This might inspire or empower someone else. Maybe they feel the same or have a similar idea — and telling your story helps them to tell theirs. Or see how they are not alone in the world.
I am not suggesting that you should go through the entire process of writing out a novel, getting it proofread and edited, and then either publishing it or getting it published. This is simply about taking the time and effort to tell your story.
