Writing Advice that May or May Not Be Useful

     So, for all you writers out there, I feel like giving advice. No particular reason, really. Just a sudden urge to give advice. Wanna know what it is?
     Well, it's this: Don't worry about what other people think. Don't worry about if your writing is too cliche or that people won't like it. You really want to write about something but feel it's overdone? Don't not write it. If you want to write something, write it. That's kind of the whole point. 
     Nobody can think up this whole new, crazy thing. Vampires, for example. That paranormal creature has been twisted and turned so many ways that is could be considered unrecognizable. Now let's say you want to write a vampire love story. Well, then write it. You can give it new life. Create a story that you like and characters that are different. People won't like it. I don't usually read a whole ton of vampire books except Richelle Mead, Bram Stoker, and Anne Rice, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't write about vampires.
     The point I'm trying to make here is that you're the writer. You can write about whatever you want, even if people say it's the worst cliche ever and writing it makes you a failure as a writer and a person. It doesn't matter. You want to write it, so write it. This may be the worst advice I give you or the best. To tell the truth, I am not the writing guru. I just feel like saying this. Remember: You are the writer, nobody else is. You have the right to write about whatever you want.


And those cliches? They became cliche for a reason. ;)
