\"Write<\/a>Let\u2019s\u00a0welcome\u00a0back monthly columnist Jami Gray<\/a>\u00a0as she shares with us \u00a0\u201cIgnore the Fear and Write!\u201d\u00a0Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

We all face it, that frightening moment when our flying fingers pause mid-motion over the keyboard.<\/strong> Wait, was that the wrong tense? Did I say that before? Is that a realistic reaction from my character? Oh pink elephants, that\u2019s too predictable!<\/em><\/p>\n

Suddenly we\u2019re frozen as the barrage of multiple lines of advice rain down upon us, making the thought of typing another letter an unforgivable sin.<\/p>\n

Writers are wonderfully supportive,<\/strong> so much so that we tend to share advice as freely as we\u2019d share a cup of coffee. (Well, some of us might pause before offering our motivating elixir, but\u2026) As receivers of that glorious advice, we drink it up until we\u2019re running to the restroom like we\u2019re training for the Olympic sprints. Yep, even me.<\/p>\n

With the amount of learning a writer undergoes, sometimes their internal storyteller will be unintentionally drowned out by the older fable slingers. As we begin to hone our craft we hear all the rules regarding voice, tense, showing versus telling, character arc, story arc, and the list goes on until it has us backed into an dark, distressing corner where we question every word we write.<\/p>\n

How do we escape?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Write.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simple, uh?<\/strong> But it\u2019s true. Write through your fear. Who cares if the tense is wrong? It can be fixed later. Worried your plot is predictable? Guess what, if you keep writing, you might get smacked upside the head by your character who has a better idea for the situation. \u00a0If you\u2019ve hit on a phrase you just can\u2019t stop using, use it. It\u2019s why we edit afterwards<\/em>.\u00a0 Thing is, you can\u2019t edit what isn\u2019t written. So write.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let the fear of worry stifle your story. The wonderful thing about stories, they\u2019re ours to tell.\u00a0 Each of us uses a unique voice to share, and some of our voices don\u2019t fall neatly into \u201ctypical\u201d roles. Advice is a beautiful thing, but writing is an art, not a one-size-fits-all sort of thing. Art, at it\u2019s core, is a form of individualized expression, so go forth and express your story.\u00a0 Delve deep, take on those difficult subjects and characters. Don\u2019t stop because your main hero is going to do the unforgiveable, or your plot is getting twisty, don\u2019t cheat yourself or your readers from what\u2019s in your heart. Share it, write it down, let it free.<\/p>\n

When the story\u2019s freshly etched,<\/strong> then you can go back and polish that ragged corner, or trim down that rough section, but that\u2019s okay, because the story that lit that fire in your heart LIVES, in all its courageous glory.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the hardest thing to accept, and I won\u2019t lie to you, it\u2019s a doozy. Your readers will either love it or hate it, but either way, they\u2019ll feel<\/em> something because of what you shared.\u00a0 In the end, that\u2019s what a writer should take encouragement from\u2014their readers\u2019 reactions. Positive or negative, if you managed to evoke an emotional response from your readers, you\u2019re doing it right.<\/p>\n

So, listen to the helpful pieces of advice from those who\u2019ve gone before you<\/strong>, but remember to let all those voices go play in the other room when you sit down to write. When it\u2019s you, a screen and a keyboard, the only voices allowed should be your characters.<\/p>\n

Write on!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
