Writing Update

[drewsome83]

First of all I want to say a big thank you to everyone who read and commented on my last journal entry. I was a bit frustrated as you can probably imagine and I really needed to vent about it and I'm so glad I did. It was great reading through the advice you all gave me and I really, truly appreciated it

So glad you're writing again, I didn't really have any advice, but good to hear something has worked for you.

That is great news! I know how exciting it is to get back to writing after a block, so I'm really happy for you. :D

Writing for a set time every day never worked for me (because either I'm in that head-space to write, or I'm not, and I can't force it), but it works for a LOT of people I know.

All this talk about writing is almost inspiring me to give it a go again. LOL! I'm going to go back and have another look at your previous post, to see what those who commented after me suggested. There were already many good ideas posted when I read it.

You should get back into it if you can, hope the advice works for you too :)

Thanks! And yes, there were some really helpful suggestions there.

I'm glad you're feeling much more positive about it. Good luck and long may you continue to feel inspired.

A friend of mine who writes says the best piece of advice to give to anyone trying to do any form of creativity is to get it down without worrying about getting it right. That'll just hold you back, and is secondary to actually producing something. She writes most days I believe, although not in such a structured way as you plan to. Some stuff she never touches again but others become part of something she was already working on or grow into a whole new idea.

Cool thanks for telling me about your friend. I’m like that, far too critical and worry to much, need to stop that :)

you're welcome :) I think by writing every day and returning to things after a while you will be able to see more clearly what you are good at and what you can improve on.

This approach to writing sounds great! I wish you every success.
