Hi Ashley! While I read this dispatch I wondered what makes people (me) a good writer, like I wonder every day, i.e. what I can do more, what I can do less, what I can do right. Also while reading your words I felt a searing need to...inject them into my veins, for one. I feel very similarly to how you do, about writing. Then I concluded: what makes you a good writer (for me) is your ability to, so beautifully, put into words something so many of us feel, but don't know if it's a real thing. I think it's one of the nicest things a writer can offer to the faceless audience that the internet it -- some reassurance.
Keep writing, AZ. Best part of this piece was yr points of advice. All worthwhile. The mark of excellent writing is ruthless editing. And reading more broadly, I liked that one, especially.
my god. its currently 12:19 am here in australia. i can't sleep and have been mindlessly scrolling through the internet. i have some how stumbled here. I never thought writing could get this beautiful. Out all the books, articles, etc i have read in my life, you are by far the best writer i have ever encountered. My name is Edward and i am looking forward to reading whatever you create.
Write. Write. Write. There's nothing more beautiful then witnessing personal growth and intellectual maturity through an artistic medium. The current digital age is obsessed with political aesthetic and lacking in self-awareness. This space is a breath of fresh air.
Writing online truly is another beast and something I gave up too easily. Don't do the same!
