I should have had something published by now but I don’t.
At one point, I was on the right track and had overcome the insecurity I had had about my writing abilities but somewhere along the way, I did a stupid, stupid, stupid thing…
I had the *wonderful* idea of immersing myself in how-to outline articles, writing software and self-publishing which slowly led into a state of analysis paralysis when it came to actually writing.
Coupled with a 9-5, day to day responsibilities and our mutual enemy called Covid, well all of that led to less writing and then no writing at all.
Forcing myself to write was a lost cause and though a few writing challenges got the juices flowing, I’m still not where I would like to be with my “fiction”.
Like I said in my last post, burning a few things down will help me overcome writing analysis paralysis and create room for some newness.
I’ve slowly been taking this approach in my personal life – it’s been slow progress but at least there has been progress.
I’m no longer sure if self-publishing is one of my first goals. I’ve been seeing alternatives to self-publishing whereby I could still share my writing and have others enjoy it but more to come on that at another time.
On that note, have yourself an awesome week!
Bisous,
M xoxo

We all have the Doubt Demons, so do what you must.
This site is another way to showcase your work – not as creepy as Wattpad.
