A galaxy of inspiration from Douglas Adams

The Guardian has just published an article with a copy that the author Douglas Adams wrote about writing to himself.

It turns out, even celebrated writers who have sold millions of books can still struggle with their craft and their self-belief.

For me, the stand out section is:

“Writing can be good. You attack it, don’t let it attack you. You can get pleasure out of it. You can certainly do very well for yourself with it!”

Douglas Adams

The Guardian has the complete note.

For any current or aspiring writers out there, I'd recommend taking a screenshot of the note. I now have a copy and will use it when I need encouragement or inspiration with my writing.
