Tell yourself you are born special, for good and bad reasons. The way you experience life, the way you look at the people and the world are where your unique voice comes from.
Vera Dong, flash fiction expert
“Regurgitate classics; chew the pages, swallow them, let them sit in your stomach for as long as it takes, regurgitate the best, chew and swallow some more;
Kill the You-Are-Not-Good-Enough monster who enjoys far too much pulling you down. If you could not kill it once for all, lock it up, especially when you write your first draft.
Tell yourself you are born special, for good and bad reasons. The way you experience life, the way you look at the people and the world are where your unique voice comes from. Love it, own it and make the best of it.”
