I literally only have one rule in my writing and it is this:

No matter what I put my characters through, they make it. They get to make it to the end of the story and have everything work out and be ok.

Because that’s the story I need. So it’s the kind I write.

If you want a piece of writing advice: write a story that is what you needed to hear at whatever age your target demographic is. I can guarantee you there’ll be someone out there who needs to hear it as much as you did. And maybe you’ll help them the same way someone else’s story did for you.

For some reason, this hit home and I never realized it that I did this for my stories too

This is so accurate! I never have unhappy endings for this very reason. I feel like my life is so uncertain and serious right now, I write stories that are sure and lighthearted. My characters may be unstable in the beginning, but throughout the story they find their places with each other, doing something worthwhile, because that’s exactly how I want my life to work out. Keep up your writing, guys. You never know who you’re going to encourage.
