Listen to your Heart

Nobel Laureate Jon Fosse shared the best writing advice that he has ever received:

Excerpt:

I think the best advice I’ve learned from life is to listen to yourself, not to others. Stick to what you have, not to what you want to have or wish you had. Stay close to yourself, to your inner voice and vision and how you want the writing to be.

When my first novel was published it got lots of bad reviews, and they haunted me, and if I had listened to them I would have stopped writing. I decided to listen to myself instead—to what I knew. Ever since then that has been a kind of rule for me.

I will keep writing my hodge podge content, until I find my voice. 

My work will see the light of day, one day 👸
