I made myself a goal last year that was unrealistic. Though I was proud that I came out with two works this past year, it was one shy of what I set out to do. It has taught me that I am not a machine, I have a life to balance, and writing, though hard to fit in, is still very much a part of who I am. I enjoy seeing the characters I've made from nothing evolve, create connections, help them strive through difficulties... even wrap it in a bow if I so choose or end it with a somewhat more realistic outcome.... I'm no longer going to set goals for my writing, I'm going to let it ebb and flow, stall but never cease no matter the gaps in between, because I can't give it up... but can't make promises to my readers that are unrealistic to my habits and lifestyle. So...I will give updates from time to time... celebrate with you when I release a new story, but what's lovely about being indie is that I make my own rules and there is never a deadline to meet. To my loyal readers. You are few, so more love is given to you when I say I couldn't be more thankful for you, and hope to make you proud in 2019. 💋 ° • ° • ° #mywriting #words #write #writers #writingislife #writerscommunity #writinglife #reading #reader #bookgeek #instagood #winter #tea #bookstagram #writing #bookworm #writersofinstagram #book #wintertime #teacup #bookish #writingcommunity #winterishere #books #amwriting #booknerd #creativewriting #booklover #writer #bibliophile via @preview.app (at Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsoixZuFm2Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4iz59tqeaiv8
