Hey, writeblr? 

I know a lot of us love and relate to the, “omg, I’m a gremlin who never writes and only produces weird trash” memes. But remember that you’re allowed to like your writing. 

You’re allowed to love your writing. You’re allowed to be unabashedly excited to work, and share, and come up with new ideas. You’re allowed to be proud of your work and your craft.

It doesn’t always have to be memes about how much writing sucks and, “ugh, why do I even do this?”

You’re allowed to be proud of yourself.

Your first draft can be excellent. 

You’re not egotistical if you like to reread your own stories. 

There’s nothing wrong with your writing cracking you up or moving you to tears. 

It’s not arrogant to say that you know what you’re doing. 

And hey, if your characters are consistently doing exactly what you want them to be doing, that doesn’t mean your writing isn’t flowing or natural or creative. It means that your original (mental) outline is working and you know what the heck you’re on about.
