Immediately this piece hit home for me—I’ve grown so much since I wrote my first story at 14. Lost a bunch of skills, gained new ones. Now, my strength is editing and helping shape creativity that other people have to make a good story, not coming up with my own creativity. You’ve touched on a very important thought here. We were just having a discussion with the artists on our team yesterday about whether someone should write a story “for the trends of the time” or whether they can be successful writing whatever they want to. We came to the conclusion that if you write from your true passion, your story will be honest. If your story is honest, then it matters. And if it matters, it will endure time.
