My journey as a writer

My interest in writing was a childhood dream and I started writing from the seventh grade and I was always busy writing letters to my friends and a small book and all the events of my life and daily life were with me. I was writing in it. And I always continued this work, but my family did not support me much because my family wanted me to study and become a good doctor or engineer, and many times my mother was upset because of this writing of my texts. He said that your time will be wasted and you will not focus on your studies. But I didn't stop trying and always kept on doing it secretly. And when I got older, I became a writer for a short time because I wanted to take the engineering entrance exam and passed, and then I started writing again until I finally succeeded and my writing won an award on the World Pulse website. I was very happy that I finally succeeded. 

At one time, my text writing peaked when the Taliban came and I no longer had the right to study and I had a lot of extra time at home, so I focused on my writing most of the time and I had a lot of time because of this.     I'm trying so hard to write something but I can't think of anything. or "It won't hurt if I write something". We hear this sentence from many people. When it is said that you don't have an opinion, don't write, they answer: So what do the elders say that you should write every day?     Yes, you should write, you should write every day, but you don't necessarily have to write a story every day. For example, for Ernest Hemingway, writing letters was a fun hobby, he could express the unsaid of his stories carelessly and also be a little mischievous and get out of the lock of writing, gossip, say bad and false things, make things up. Hasty judgments and evacuation to write another lasting story.     The writer writes his story when he has an idea and practices writing when he does not have an idea to write. A writer must practice all his life."
     The first advice I have given myself and I always follow is to practice writing.
     Writing is something that needs to be done over and over again, something that improves with repetition but doesn't need to be perfect. Just as a piano teacher will tell you to practice the keys and persistence is the key to mastering the instrument, I have said the same as a writing teacher. Persistence is the key to becoming the master of the game that you are.     So I always try not to go a single day without writing and practicing this. Of course, by doing this and over time, instead of writing out of interest, I do it out of attachment and to find a good feeling in my day.     The second advice is as important, useful and effective as the first advice. This advice emphasizes the individuality of writing and that we don't need to be too attached and dependent on the advice and models of other writers.     One writer's cure-all is another writer's poison. Some writers can't write without soft jazz playing in the background. 

And this is my manuscript today .

I sprout!   And I will be green! Just because I am a girl.   Through my wounds, from the place where I am broken, light enters me; And the greens grow high, very high as high as my dreams;   I grab these greens and climb higher and higher...   I break a thousand times, and get up a thousand and one more times; Just because I am a girl.   I burn And I make diamond mountains just to be that I am a girl.   Break the ball! At the same time as falling, I experience flight; Because I am a girl of desire, hope, flight, of diamond, the more we cut it, the brighter it shines.   My tears water, the seeds hidden in my wounds.   I paint with my hands that have a pen; Bright pen!   I will color your colorless world.   If I don't care, colors won't make sense anymore; All blue colors will remain only blue, not blue, rusty and indigo...   If I wasn't there, the food wouldn't have any taste, it would just fill you up.   Your other houses were just houses, not a place of peace.   My Daughter! I was not the girl that the world desperately needs, and if we were not girls, the world would lack beauty, love, peace, kindness, desire and affection.
