"Uphold good character over excellence."
The excellence of a writer is considered futile if he has no virtue. Take for example, a famous writer who is on a pedestal, garnered countless achievements, has written remarkable stories, gained lots of income perhaps from book sales or other ways of monetizing stories, however, has the ugliest character. He envies those who surpassed him; he likes to create chaos by spreading false information; he loves to destroy friendships by gossiping and backbiting; he likes to be in the spotlight even if it means stepping down fellow writers; he likes to bag awards dishonestly; he withholds grudge and resentment; he is self-centered. He is like a fine cake covered with molds—delicious to look at yet inedible. It is better to be an average writer with integrity rather than be exceptional who practices iniquity.
Keep in mind, a writer who upholds righteousness is worthy to be praised. Be truthful. Have a heart for fellow writers and readers. Always be humble. Forgive others just as God had forgiven you. Think for the betterment of many, and not only for your own sake. Never believe that you are above anyone else, for we are all equal in the sight of our Creator. Bring light to someone who is in darkness. Your character defines you. How you act towards people is more valuable than how you write.
