Yeah, I don't want to try and force myself to be something I'm not. So to speak. It's not going to be any good if it's something I'm not comfortable with.

Well, that and you should write whatever you want to. Fictional worlds are oysters, just ready for you to take charge and figure out what best makes you... you.

And once I figure this one out, the possibilites are endless. I can even make up different worlds. When I wrote fanfiction, it was always using people or worlds I already knew... so this is more challenging.

Just means you gotta take some time to make your characters feel like people. Which, I guess, rolls us right back around to 'write what you know.'

But not TOO much like people I know. I think that's been the hardest part so far.

I think that's just a balancing act. You get better at it with practice?

Uh-huh. I'm not in any rush; I know I don't have to submit anything until I feel like I'm ready.

Exactly! So just have fun at it, and remember- I’ll only look at what you want me to.

Thank you. I'm not self-conscious about my writing or anything, but... well, it's nice to have things I can keep to myself, too, and not worry about anyone reading my notebooks.
