I wanted to create a small movement. It's heard time and again that it takes failure to succeed, or some cliche like that. Yet, it seems like the many of us who aren't really embracing failure, are often also close minded in some form.
If you can't accept failure, how would you accept being wrong? How would you tolerate conflicting opinions? It ends up bleeding into all aspects of life, and I just wanted to capture that essence and get the message out to as many people as possible.

Writers block seems to be a thing more for those who are sticking to a single aspect of their book/topic or having deadlines. Creativity doesn't seem to like being forced. What we have to remember however is that writing is an expression of our thoughts and feelings, we *never* stop thinking or feeling.
Use that concept. Write about and around the block. It doesn't have to go into the book or topic. Writing isn't just for the creation, it can also be for ourselves. Whenever possible, just don't stop. The timelines and goal posts won't matter as much if you never stop.
Your mind doesn't stop. Your writing doesn't have to either.

Writing is one of the best ways to externalize in detail whatever is in our heads. When we write, we are creating a roadmap of our thoughts. Feel alone, misunderstood? Write. Confused on a problem? Write. Want to share something amazing? Write.
We are all writers, we just don't all put pen to paper.

Write. Write. Write.
While I've written millions of words over the years, I don't have the audacity to claim to know what 'aspiring writers' should do, I'm an aspiring writer myself and always will be. I failed English at least four times starting in high school and carrying into college. I've only published one book at the time of this post. I still have many flaws in my writing.
But still, my advice is to write, write, write.

I'm always writing a variety of different works, but one of the pieces that I'm currently the most interested in deals with extremism.

Whenever I get goose bumps, or feel passionate about something. That's my favorite time to store up inspiration. It could be talking to a friend, reading a book, or anything else during the day. We always filled with emotions every day, those emotions tell me something is important, and that means for me "let's write"!
