For young aspring writers

As a man working hard to be a good writer, I realized one thing is very important: you have to trust yourself with how you tell a story.

This goes for those people who write books and scripts, journalists as well as authors and screenwriters.

One piece of advice I have is this: If I listened to all the criticism I receive about my stories, I'd still be stuck writing the first page. It's good to get solid feedback from trusted individuals, good friends, you can rely on to be honest with you (instead of kissing up to you) about your work, not just writing.

As a writer, you can—and should—listen to them, what suggestion they give. However, that doesn't mean you have to follow everything you hear word for word. Give yourself creative freedom, find what style of writing works for you, and then go forward from there.

Long story short, as creative writers and persons, you have your own style of writing, so do it. Keep pushing yourself to be a better man or woman and have confidence in yourself. Keep persevering and be yourself. That's what makes a person the unique person they are. Don't let others stop you; let them help you grow in your life and in our experience as a writer.
