A friend asked me how to be a writer. I wanted to say, Set yourself free, sing until you have a poem and no voice. Open your chest and let your heart say what your mind can't Act as if you own the day and all that you live and all that you see and all that you feel you boxed up for inspiration. Write your mom a letter, and tell her that you miss her but you'll be back someday. Because being a writer is traveling through a wide and dangerous and wonderful world and coming home must wait. Remember to love yourself even if it's hard to do with ideas cluttering your brain. and Reality tapping at your skull saying is this worth it? Warn the neighbors that if they hear voices It's just your soul changing and creating. Learn how to accept others. Learn to let go of everything you don't need in order to stay sane, Learn how to grow from your failures. A friend asked me how to be a writer. All I said was write
