WRITING IS LIKE KEEPING PLANTS (Source: elliewritesstories from tumblr)
Plants come in all different shapes and sizes. Some come from the amazon, where it’s warm and wet all the time, and some come from the desert, where they only see a few inches of rainfall per year. No plant is better than another. I mean, how can anyone not love plants?
Some need to be watered every day, some every week, some even every month or year, but the thing is that they all need to be watered at some point. They’re all good plants, and they all deserve the nutrients, but it’s you that has to tip the watering can first – they can’t do that themselves.
Think of your writing as your very own plant, a new life that you’ve planted and cared for over time. Water your plant. Give it sunlight. Even if it’s only once every month, plants like cactuses only need a couple drops! And even if you don’t care for it for a while, plants can always bounce back and grow new leaves and flowers that are bigger than ever.
So water your plants. Water your writing. One drop at a time.
