Hi ☺️ 🐭🐁, with so many getting awards for fantasy glad you got one for reality 🎉! I get How you feel and see the same types of life reflections in my own mind's mirror. Up till 2 years ago, had an awesome counselor. Knew her for about 6 years or so.
Since we moved to Mississippi good luck with having someone like that!...
I'm glad you write about what's real, good or bad. You express how many people feel and don't always have the strength to write.
Glad I saw 🪚 your award and found my way here!
Congratulations 🎉🥳 you earned it.
My spirit animal is a deer. I love Kristy Parker without the s at the end. Here is another idea. Take your chapter book, download it to your computer or wherever you keep stuff, removing it from WdC. Then you won't always be looking at it and possibly bringing it up then sitting staring at it. Do that with any other unfinished stuff. Give yourself a fresh start. I find writing very simple poems rewarding. I just copy the rhyming schemes of other poems I read because there are way too many types of poems. I am not good at it, but it doesn't take much time or deep thought to write. I took a couple of my things that I just never liked off and feel I did myself a favor not risking someone reviewing them when like you said they were crap. I am great at giving out advice when I need to take some of my own advice which includes writing more consistently. Good luck!
I agree that the more you think about how you should be writing, the less likely it is for you to sit down and do it. I would hate to restart something I had started. Much down the road you can heavily edit it. I think you can just write without any mind to grammar/spelling/editing. It doesn't have to be perfect or even all of it will you keep. Maybe focus on something else that gives you pleasure. Maybe a group you belong to or just blogging. I think you say a lot in very few words so that is a plus for you. You can always do a few reviews which will be much appreciated and don't take a lot of writing. Just an idea.
I have three novels and an autobiography in my head. Yesterday I worked on two and made very little progress. I almost feel desperate because I am getting older everyday ...
I enjoy your names. I played with pen names since I was a kid too.
Went out with Sally today (peer support).... She tells me she can't afford to go to the book store today so save my money for next week....So we go to a restaurant because I say that I can afford coffee and still afford books..... the waitress comes and Sally orders oatmeal with her coffee..... so I said screw it and ordered raisin toast. That was $15 down the tubes. Combine that with me misplacing $15 and I am down to $5 for the rest of the month...... This is how my money keeps dwindling when I have it
Other than that it was a decent day. I did a section of the diamond painting I've been working on. Took a nap with the dog and watched some TV with Terry (sister). All in all not bad. Would have been better if I got some writing done.
