from a small corner [E] Acceptance that I am not where I wanted to be; and building the courage to become. |
Greetings and welcome to writing.com! I say again, welcome This online writing community is big enough for you, and there are many options to interact with others, build friendships, or request reviews if you write anything like standard fiction or poetry. This is an excellent, honest and heartfelt monologue, explaining your feelings about the important role writing plays in your life. I relate so much to a lot of what you say here, about how one has to work through the adversities and create what one has a desire to see created, even though it feels impossible to accomplish with so much else happening in the “real world.” I know personally how hard it appears to be to reserve time for one’s “unimportant” pursuits such as creative writing or journaling. In fact, while working through Covid I fell completely out of the habit of writing anything at all, and by the time the year was over I couldn’t put two coherent sentences together on paper, I was so stressed out. It took another year to gather my senses and resume my writing journey. Refocusing on your piece of writing here, I would suggest using size 4 Verdana font to ensure readability across devices, and also to make it more visually appealing. Perhaps a couple more paragraph breaks would help to lead the eye along. Also, if you plan to enter any contests, it’s a good idea to start the habit of including a word count in every item. As a general rule I don’t like to make specific critiques of personal items; your choice of words is your own. Your grammar and punctuation are good. If you want to get back into writing, you can set goals and participate in the various activities around here. To begin your exploration of WdC, you can check out "Activities @ Writing.Com" or "Writing Contests @ Writing.Com" for fun stuff to join. "Question of the Day!" is a wonderful spot to chat and meet the most active members of the community. Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
