#meetthewriter Day 11/15- ODE
An interesting thought…..
Writing, oh how you wring out my emotions!
You inspire me to create.
You torture me when words refuse to flow
You fill me with joy and allow me to breathe
Writing, you are pure oxygen to me.
#meetthewriter Day 12/15 – IDENTITY
Oh good question! There is an element of imposter syndrome lurking about with regards to this one. Right from the day I finished the first draft of Stronger Within, inwardly I was incredibly proud of what I had achieved. Openly admitting that took a lot longer…about 5 books longer! Now I am more comfortable to say that I am an indie-author but it still depends on the situation. Being a writer is an intrinsic part of who I am. It's been such a huge part of my life for over ten years that I can't imagine it any other way now. If folk think being a writer makes me a bit weird then that's fine by me. Afterall why be normal?
#meetthewriter Day 13/15- THREE
Describe my writing style in 3 little words….ok here goes.
Emotional Believable Honest
Have a read at my book babies and my blog and judge for yourself 😊
#meetthewriter Day 14/15 – IMAGININGS
The writing dream was always to see my name on the cover of a "real" book and that has already come true. I'll not lie, I would love to see my books for sale on the shelves of high street bookshops, but I appreciate if that was to happen, it could bring some unwanted "fame" with it and that's not for me as a person. And let's face it, Amazon is the biggest "bookshop" around and they're already on its virtual shelves complete with glittering stars so let's not get greedy here.
#meetthewriter Day15/15 – COMMITMENT
Day 15 already… the last fifteen days have flown by.
My commitment to my writing life is to keep going and to keep enjoying it. After all that has gone in my world over the past few months, I am still finding my feet, so I am doing my best not to put any undue pressure on myself with regards to deadlines with my writing. This is a year to restore some balance and to begin to heal from the past few years.
The wee driven stubborn bit of me that keeps whispering in my ear would love to see Book Baby 8 released by the end of 2024. The voice of reason is saying "be content to get the first draft done".
Time will tell on which voice wins 😉
