I have been bothered forever by that piece of Elizabeth Gilberts’ advice too! It’s stuck in my head like: damn, if I don’t finish my story ASAP someone else will do it. Yikes!!! If nothing else, it HAS motivated me to finish my story. Heaven forbid some random person steals my idea from the idea ethers or muse and writes MY story. Another thing: I haven’t questioned her crappy advice once! If Liz says so - I guess it’s true. Liz Gilbert speaks for the muse…. *play ethereal harp music AND *insert eye roll. I’m chucking that crap advice out the window now. Thank you

This makes me SO happy! Kick Liz out of your head and write what you’re meant to write on YOUR schedule. It will be genius. I know it.
