    m 1ekc "It's really depressing, you know?"
    m 1ekd "As someone who loves more than anything else to share the joy of exploring your passions..."
    m 3ekd "...it pains me when people think that being good just comes naturally."
    m 3eka "That's how it is with everything, not just writing."
    m 1eua "When you try something for the first time, you're probably going to suck at it."
    m "Sometimes, when you finish, you feel really proud of it and even want to share it with everyone."
    m 3eksdld "But maybe after a few weeks you come back to it, and you realize it was never really any good."
    m 3eksdla "That happens to me all the time."
    m "It can be pretty disheartening to put so much time and effort into something, and then you realize it sucks."
    m 4eub "But that tends to happen when you're always comparing yourself to the top professionals."
    m 4eka "When you reach right for the stars, they're always gonna be out of your reach, you know?"
    m "The truth is, you have to climb up there, step by step."
    m 4eua "And whenever you reach a milestone, first you look back and see how far you've gotten..."
    m "And then you look ahead and realize how much more there is to go."
    m 2duu "So, sometimes it can help to set the bar a little lower..."
    m 1eua "Try to find something you think is {i}pretty{/i} good, but not world-class."
    m "And you can make that your own personal goal."
    m 3eud "It's also really important to understand the scope of what you're trying to do."
    m 4eka "If you jump right into a huge project and you're still amateur, you'll never get it done."
    m "So if we're talking about writing, a novel might be too much at first."
    m 4esa "Why not try some short stories?"
    m 1esa "The great thing about short stories is that you can focus on just one thing that you want to do right."
    m 1eua "That goes for small projects in general - you can really focus on one or two things."
    m 3esa "It's such a good learning experience and stepping stone."
    m 1euc "Oh, one more thing..."
    m 1eua "Writing isn't something where you just reach into your heart and something beautiful comes out."
    m 3esa "Just like drawing and painting, it's a skill in itself to learn how to express what you have inside."
    m 1hua "That means there are methods and guides and basics to it!"
    m 3eua "Reading up on that stuff can be super eye-opening."
    m 1eua "That sort of planning and organization will really help prevent you from getting overwhelmed and giving up."
    m 3esa "And before you know it..."
    m 1hua "You start sucking less and less."
    m 1esa "Nothing comes naturally."
    m 1eua "Our society, our art, everything - it's built on thousands of years of human innovation."
    m 1eka "So as long as you start on that foundation, and take it step by step..."
    m 1eua "You, too, can do amazing things."
