Blogging Hiatus Hey everyone, I hope you’re all well 🙂 My break in August was great, but after a year and a half of pandemic and two years of an MA in Creative Writing that I mostly hated, it wasn’t enough. Posting feels like another item on... https://t.co/LNCmz1FKHQ
Being a writer means:
-Having a dozen story ideas and writing none of them
-Loving your story while also calling it a trash fire
-Wanting to write but also wanting to do anything besides writing
-Giving other writers advice you never follow yourself
-Crying over your keyboard
"Real writers" do not have to write everyday. To be a real writer is know when it's time to abscond with a pie into the endless labyrinth of a secret library, so you can lie around and daydream in peace.
Don’t waste your time & energy worrying about failing, #turtlewriters. You’ll never know unless you try. Be brave! Take that first step. Write that first word. Give yourself the chance to achieve your dream. Even bestselling authors have to start somewhere! Good luck! 🍀 🙂🐢❤️
🐢🐢🙂Every day is a new beginning. Believe in yourself, #turtlewriters. ❤️ You’re never too old & it’s never too late to start turning that dream of yours into a reality. Make that first step, write that first word! Be brave and go for it! 🍀Life is too short for regrets. 🙂🐢🐢

If you're struggling right now or even feeling like giving up on writing, remember that you're not alone. Every writer struggles, even your favorite authors wanted to give up at times. But they succeeded, and so can you. Believe in your story and believe in yourself.
@sirrahleumas :) Sadly I'm not writing much at the moment, I've been in a slump since I finished my MA in Writing. Hoping to work on my Arthurian legend retelling again soon though! What are you working on?
Don't let anyone dictate how you should/shouldn't write, #turtlewriters. No-one has that right. There are no writing *rules*, only guidelines that aren't set in stone! It’s your story, no-one else’s❤️You're the only person who can tell it in the way it wants to be told!🐢❤️🍀
