No, what makes you insecure is pretending youre a writer, when you know you arent. Thats why writers are perpetually insecure, in a nutshell. The advice youre giving is bad advice, as in, literally bad for you.
Writing is never bad for you. It's like saying that you shouldn't be pretending to be a programmer, when you know you arent. What the fuck does that even mean?
First you aren't a writer/programmer. Then you pretend to be a writer/programmer, by attempting to do what writers/programmers do. Then, if you keep doing it long enough, you become one.
And yes, writing can be bad for you. You sound like someone whos very attached to the idea that writing is good, but maybe lacking in reasons.
Writing, like everything, takes work. For a lot of people its a complete waste of time.
To me, most writing has no value.
I would like to know how writing could be bad for you. Please elaborate.
He seems like he doesnt even know why he thinks writing is good, and if i were him id be a little embarassed.
Please do elaborate and explain how and why I should be ashamed of myself because I really don't know how writing can ever be bad for anyone.
