Who are you trying to be as a writer?
What I mean by this is who are you when you write? Is your writing from you, or is your writing often compared to other writers. Is your writing(s) going to be remembered as you or compared to other talent writers?
Skywriting in A Writer's Path

Myself

Some may have a idol, a writer that had impressed you during all your life, someone that you would love to achieve or just be. Maybe it’s more than one. Maybe you just want to be a mosaic of the best qualities of them.

But, I don’t think the same. I feel that writing is my way of be. My way of see the world. Doesn’t mean that I don’t learn by others, have those who write better than me, those whom I know I probably won’t ever reach. I read their works and try to find a better way to express myself, they had teach me a lot, I can tell. But, I don’t want to be them. I don’t try to reach them. I try to reach the best expressions and ways to show what I see, touch, smell and feel. To show to everyone my perspective of the world around me. How I see the universe.

So, who is the writer I wanna be, you are probably asking. I wanna become me. I don’t need to be someone else, because if we were all the same, the world would be stuck in the same way, never growing. I have things to teach, as you do. I need to leave my mark in the world - no matter if it’s a big or small one - but someone need it. As you do. I can’t tell what do need to do. I don’t know anything about you. I just know about me. And I don’t wanna be a copy of someone else. But I don’t wanna be stuck in this way. I want to change. I want to become someone better, without losing my way. In another words, I wanna be a better me. To reach by best potential. The best version of me.
