Mourning and loss are synonyms. Defeat and loss are synonyms. Mourning and defeat are not. (Though you can mourn defeat, defeat is not mourning.) When trying to craft a sentence to portray feeling the loss of a loved one and the loss of a battle, I discovered this.#writerthoughts
So frustrated. I lost the last chapter I wrote. I was really in the flow and I doubt I can recreate it as well. Thinking of giving up entirely for a while 😭
I haven’t checked my voicemail I’m so long I’ve forgotten how.
