Welcome :) having someone listen in my time of grief is probably the best thing I've ever had so if I can pay that forward I will and do

You’re wonderful :) That means so much to me.

I lost my dad to cancer 18 months ago so if you need someone to talk to or just to listen I'm here cause I've been through it

Thank you, dear, I appreciate that very much <3

Yes I do and I am working to change my bad habit of being a chronically lazy writer

You too? We should be writing buddies. Wanna be writing buddies? Let's be writing buddies.

(That's an open invitation for anyone who wants to be my writing buddy, btw)

That’s why I started saving prompts it helps when I have no motivation

I love prompts, but I never write on them because I'm not a prompt-writer. I'm a sit-in-my-head-until-I-know-what-it's-like-to-bathe-with-my-characters kind of writer. So, prompts help me place characters I'm working on in different settings and situations.

Alas, my issue is getting things from brain to paper. I'm a perfectionist in the  minimalist sense of the word, as in I procrastinate because criticism and possibility scare the riverdance out of me.

Write the first draft like there's no tomorrow, they say. It'll come easy, they say.

Protip, readers: Don't get hooked on praise. It's the worst thing that will ever happen to your creative professional career.*rambleramble*

But I'm looking forward to reading your work. It looks like you have quite a bit in production. ^_^
