“On living, for the sake of your writing”

This is my most liked Substack post!

By than, I mean it got 2 likes, because I don’t really show anyone my blog. But, given Inkhaven/​Half-Haven, are both soon to end; I thought I’d share this one here.

Over the past two months of writing every day, I have grokked the advice I have so often heard from writers, that you must experience life, to be able to write well.

I doubt I’ll be able to instill this idea into your head, in a way that the writers I admire were unable to do for me; with their flowing words and exemplary prose. But, I will still give it a go.
