by Novel Kicks Writing Room: Writing a Letter to Your Younger Self
Writing a letter to your younger self.
As I attempt to edit the drafts of my first novel, I have been thinking a lot about how much I can hold myself back, mostly through lack of confidence.
I have never been the most assured person but, as a sixteen year old, I seemed to be a lot more fearless than I am now. How does that happen?
Something I thought might be helpful is to write a letter of advice to my younger self.
What would you tell your 16 year-old-self? It doesn’t necessarily need to focus just on your writing life. It could be about anything.
Try it and see how you get on.
