You may take some solace in that, to me, you are inspiring. Many people do not realize writing is more than a hobby to those of us who want to make it a career. They don't realize just how much goes into writing, attempting to publish a novel, and then sustaining a career as an author; in fact it's something we writers do not discover until we've decided to make a go of it. Though you may feel overwhelmed, you are definitely on top of things; which is more than I can say for myself. My writing has been dormant since completing NaNaWriMo; overwhelmed with the editing process & the ever-present questions of: "is this good or worthy?" "should I bother?". But when I read your blog, it is calming & reassuring. It reminds me to take the process one step at a time, as well as revealing which steps to take, and to stick with it, because writing is what I love & that it's worth it. Thanks for the great blog topics!
Oh! Thank you so much for your comment! It makes it all worth while to know even one person is inspired and encouraged here. If you love writing, like I do, it is totally worth the time and effort. Don't let doubt and fear keep you from growing in what you love. Keep writing, R. I hope to hear from you again!
