Reading anything I can get my hands on

What you get with me:

- stuff about writing from an utter amateur
- book reviews
- equal parts motivation/ positivity and criticism/ ranting
- retweets of folklore, pets, artwork, history, nonsense
- exclamation marks

Am I still a writer if I haven't written a word since Jan but I think about my novel every day?

What's the longest you've taken a hiatus from a project and still gone on to finish it?

@Angelamac33367 There's just something about them!

@CunliffeRich Maybe it depends how it turns out. Like, if I pick up the project again, it will prove I was "writing" all along internally - but if I never do, then I can't make the same claim...

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@LFSAlden I've heard it's a thing some people do

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@WriterNatSwift Old school. You could reframe it as historical fiction?

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@L_DP_Taylor Also true.

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@RichardVetere Chefs kiss. Everything in its time.

@FallenStar1985 It turns out we're all just fumbling through... Sometimes life is complicated and maybe it makes sense to just shelve that one thing and pick it up when we can.

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@Mariah94350720 Ah, the problem is, that sounds like hard work and dedication. Where are the quick fixes, I ask you!?

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@SakamakiChloe I think this is my problem, that I "finished" a draft in Jan and I know it needs ripping apart and basically starting over. I just haven't the heart yet.

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@rbconklin1 Yes, I am basically the Mozart of the written word. I'm glad someone else has noticed.

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@JBVelasquez75 This is encouraging!

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@yeahitsmepoonam Slow and steady!

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@authorgurpreetd Same. I feel I'm still connected to the project, but I'm not realistically sitting down and working on it any time soon...

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@DarynWilde THE PROCESS

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@AuthorMarkRunte It's similar to a break-down, I think??

[Elanor Banks @elanorbanks]

@Mariah94350720 I'm hoping when (if??) I get to that stage I will enjoy it!
