Why be Dostoevsky when you could be yourself? Dead Russians ain't got nothing you don't have. Stop with the self hatred

Do It for yourself
Do it because it can be good for yourself
Do it because a skill honed with passion is a good one to have

Indeed. Please stay away, we don't need more Dostotards attempting literature. One was enough.

you should write because you cannot stop yourself from writing. if you can ignore it then it isnt worth doing
