Tell your story, and tell it YOUR way

YOUR voice is the one we want to hear.

There is only YOU, and that YOU wants to be heard. Copying others will only get you so far, and it'll never allow your true YOU to shine. To tell YOUR story.

So tell your story, and tell it YOUR way.

You don't know when you'll die, do you? Neither do I. None of us do.

What if you knew? What if you had only a few days left to live? That'd allow you to let go of your fear of being YOU, wouldn't it?

Then pretend.

Wake up and pretend you're going to die in a few days. Take it on and allow yourself to know what it'd feel like. Then write. Write with abandon and without fear. See what comes of it.

Who knows. Maybe after you're done, you'll be able to work up the guts to share what you've written. And still stay alive. A miracle, right?

DO IT. Before it's too late... (insert evil cackle here...or evil crow screech)
