Writing is hard. No matter who you are or where you're from, it's always going to be a struggle at first.
Your sentences will suck, your punctuation will be off-kilter, and it will feel like it's taking forever just to get one single paragraph down on the word processor without making any mistakes. You'll end up with nothing but chicken scratch.
But that's also part of what makes writing so special. Because it's yours too.
You learn to write by paying attention to how words sound better, trying out different things until they actually do start sounding better and more coherent overall. You learn through trial and error, figuring out what works best for YOU based on your own unique strengths and weaknesses as a writer.
And yeah, maybe there'll be a little chicken scratch left over no matter how skilled or experienced you become along the way. But it's YOUR chicken scratch, and that means something in its own right too.
So yeah, keep on writing and shit. Thank you for reading my blogpost/listening to my TED talk/whatever
