I know it's easier said than done, but try to write just for yourself. Try writing just for the delightful process of allowing the characters to come alive. Assume that nobody will read what you write, or if they do it won't matter, because the stories are for YOU, and not for anyone else. Try not to delete things because they're 'silly'. Because what does that matter? You're creating and learning and growing! And so just write to have fun and for yourself, and before you know it your stories will be among the best on the site xx
