Writing is like peeling the layers of an onion – revealing one layer at a time.

I was cutting onions and this thought crossed my mind that writing is also like peeling the layers of an onion.

Each layer you peel away reveals deeper truths and nuances.

As you dig through the surface, you get closer to the core of your story or idea.

Imagine this:

You started to discover the emotional and thematic depths that lie beneath.

Remember that the progress you’ve made through your writing is like peeling the layers of an onion, gradually revealing deeper insights and complexities.

Everything that has happened to you.

Even when you thought you couldn’t, you have persevered.

All the mornings you got out of bed, no matter how hard it was thinking about what topic to write about today.

All the times you wanted to quit, but you made it to another page.
