We’ve seen a lot of advice to writers so you can trust us when we say Madeleine’s advice is epic. It is in three folds and we’d just highlight them properly.
On keeping an honest journal.
‘If you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you. Where you just put down what you think about life, what you think about things, what you think is fair and what you think is unfair.’
We totally agree. One of the reasons why we are lacking original content is because everyone is churning out what they think people want to read people or are copying what they see from other writers and as a result, there’s just a bunch of duplicated copies of art, content and truth. It is time writers wrote out their true feelings, the deepest, and most vulnerable. Keeping this journal will help to keep that truth alive.
On why reading is and will always be important
‘You need to read. You can’t be a writer if you’re not a reader. It’s the great writers who teach us how to write.’
As a writer, you must be someone who loves to read. There’s nothing more to add to this.
On why writing every day is still relevant
‘The third thing is to write. Just write a little bit every day. Even if it’s for only half an hour — write, write, write.’
Because in the end that’s why you are a writer, to write.
Thank you always. I write a journal that is unpublishable but i also tear it up amd recycle it because it is not for others to read. But it does the trick i feel..
