Welcome and thank you for coming. Please leave a comment or ask a question if you wish.
Okay. So, as a writer, I try to make sure that when I post on social media I'm being as genuine as I can. I want to follow as many people as I can. I love to share and support others who are engaging with me.
Recently, I have begun to be more visible on Twitter. I have lessened my visibility on Instagram. The choices of why I changed they way I want my brand to showcase me as more than just a writer. Even here on my blog, I tackle different issues. This is where I can truly express what I feel without feeling I owe an explanation to anyone about what I write.
This blog is about the the process and the frustration that I feel most writers face. Coming up with content that is entertaining and tries to keep you interested from the first line in the first chapter to the epilogue. Your hope that you've done all the right things. Connected all the dots and the editor has made sure the story has continuity and flows like you originally intended. I believe writers are already feeling defeated before anyone reads their work. I think we are our worst critics. We may get writers block or just need to step away from your writing to get a fresh perspective.
Coming up with content takes research, ingenuity and imagination. The mindset it takes to achieve a short story, novella or even an epic novel takes blood,sweat and tears(literally).
At the end of your finished creation, there should be a sense of satisfaction. A jubilation. It's short lived. Because, now you have to let others see it. Review it, like it or dislike it. Interpet it the way they see it. However, your gleeful that anyone has taken the time to read what your imagination came up with.
It's exhausting. It's a lonely job. Having a network of other writers helps, because they understand your journey.
To my readers and fandom, I thank them with every fiber in my body. To the Writing community, thank you for the continued support. This is one thing I know for certain...
"No one wants to be in consent torment of putting words to paper. But to a writer it's a necessary evil."
Have a great week ahead!
