New writers

I don’t know what has been happening lately. I can’t tell if it’s the writers that I am reading changing or me, but I have begun to see a pattern. The new writers have been the ones I flock to as of currently and I was wondering why? Now, I think the pattern is showing up recently because new writers have some way of no filter, that I have begun to love entirely.

A fresh outlook

They look at things before the world starts to. They don’t have people wrapped up in their heads or trying to impress someone or an audience as much. This is what I look for now that I have written a few things.

It is always nice to read someone else's work who hasn’t got it all figured out yet. Not to mention it inspires the crap out of me to see someone who cares deeply enough to write like they still write to themselves and be able to just let loose.

Short and sweet

This one is short but that's okay? I forget that it’s okay sometimes to not have every article planned out to a T, every step calculated to a fine and finished point. It doesn’t have to be all shiny and sparkly every time because by the end of the day?

The raw points are what inspire me the most. I think new writers should be okay with whatever length they write as long as they write with that same passion and enthusiasm I love so much.

I love to read, but sometimes I want to read someone else, not a made-up version of the person that they think they should be. I can feel that mask in their writing, the lack of confidence. So I hope the new writers out there read this and see how much there appreciated too. Take care and happy writing!
