Ursula Vernon’s Certificate of Bad Artistry, for those days when it’s just not coming together.

Or for those of us who are still in the “really kind of crap” stage of learning. Thank you Ursula Vernon.

I’m just gonna go ahead and interpret this as permission to write badly as well.

Writing is art. You are allowed to make bad art. So write bad shit.

Hell yeah, writing is art.  So are a lot of other things that aren’t visual.  This absolutely includes singing off key and forgetting half the words, playing a musical instrument fumblingly and without rhythm, dancing with no coordination and no idea what the steps should be, and, yes, writing for crap.

Your art does not have to fit anyone’s standards for quality or even basic competence, not even your own, for you to be allowed to make it.
