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.
So far today I have put in an hour of reading SKOW, and an hour scribbling notes for my one novel.....
I really am stretching myself thin though. I have four novels started (not to mention the ones that are not on here) and still have a bunch of short stories and contest entries floating around my brain.... I can't seem to decide what is the most important to wrk on. Should I work on the oldest first? The one that is closest to being completed? The one that my muse wants to work on? The one that is most accessible? I just don't know.
I'm hoping I work on something today. Write more later.
Definitely time well spent.
I spent the rest of the evening, after taking a nap, writing a new beginning for Birchwood Manor.
I just finished adding it to the book on here...
