I’ve taken some time off from writing… got way too self-conscious, self-critical, and stopped having fun with the process. How long has it been? A few months at least.
BUT I’M BACK, BABY! I completed a prompt. It’s not much, granted, but finishing it felt like I’d run a marathon. It’s not perfect but for once, I don’t care. I chuckled at myself – parts of it even met my “hey, this is cute” meter. The prompt was kind of ridiculous, but I think I gave it a nice surprise…
Next is the process for starting AND COMPLETING a novel. I need the experience. I need to know it’s possible. If anybody else has been down this road, I welcome your feedback.
