I haven't really used this account the way I intended and am going to start using my main account instead @megsdunford Please follow me there and thank you for all the encouragement and support I've received from the #WritingCommunity in the short time I've been here. ❤

@kevindwriter I really needed this reminder. Thank you!

Every time I try to get back into writing I'm frustrated because it feels so much harder than it used to. I need to be as kind to myself as I am when doing yoga. The brain is just another muscle.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@AnnaQuartly It's nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time. 😄

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

Two days two rejections. But I'm just happy I'm writing a little again and submitting.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@AnnaQuartly No, I've been submitting some short stories and poems to magazines while trying to get back into the second draft of my book.

I have not done a lot of writing this year... but at least my reading goals are on track.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

25, 25 and 27 read so far this year.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@CressmanElla I felt like that for a really long time. I took a break, did a lot of reading and then started revisiting some older stuff- editing and submitting. Immediately after my last editing session I went for a big walk and my first new story idea came to me and I wrote it down.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@Curconfess Love this tip. I'll defintely give it a try.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

I had the day off yesterday and did some editing of a short story I wrote last year and sent it off into the unknown land of submissions. In the evening I was inspired to write my first new short story in ages. #writerslife #WritingCommunity

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

Reading some of my drafts to remind myself that I'm not a horrible writer... it's making the time and sticking it out that are my problem.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@LaraAnnDominick Defintely not. There is no better feeling than reading something you wrote and thinking "that's good."

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@nickaskewwrites Defintely physical books. 📚 The eReader came in handy when I used to travel alot for work, but nothing beats the feeling of turning the pages of a physical book.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@gkellywrites That's amazing (and inspiring). I mostly write fiction; short stories and the occasional poem. A couple years ago I also finished a first draft of a novel, but have been struggling pretty much since then.

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

Hi #writingcommmunity! I've taken a long break from writing and now want to find a way to focus on it again. Who else is managing this with a demanding corporate job?

[Megan Reid @MeganReidWrites]

@LaraAnnDominick Wow! 😊 Thank you so much for the retweet.
