So after a year of blogging about writing, I’ve decided to add another section to this vacuum of space my words seem to fill up each week.
I’m taking the leap to share more about myself, my writing and my eclectic bit of experiences.
There’s a few reasons for this…
First off, I’m on the cusp of having a query-worthy manuscript. I’m still a few rounds away from a final draft that I would feel [comfortable] sharing with an agent, but it’s nearly there. NEARLY THERE!!!
Back to the point, I have no idea what’ll come of this whole process, but I want there to be some kind of dictation of it all. For myself and for ya’ll. I’ve never been the best at journaling. Sometimes things are better left as memories filtered through time-earned wisdom. But this thing, this journey in finishing a book and hopefully finding representation and hopefully getting published, is something I want to remember in all it’s painful and [God, I hope] wonderful glory.
Lots of hope, guys!
Second, I was just looking for more of a reason to shout words into the internet void.
Okay, not exactly like that, but I’ve fallen in love with the writing/publishing online community and want to contribute in any way I can. If that means letting ya’ll see the unadulterated pain of a writer hatchling, SO BE IT! Hopefully someone will take solace that this process is hard for everyone and take that as a sign to NOT GIVE UP!
Third, I honestly don’t know that I have a third. Do I need a third? I feel like lists need to have at least three points…
So here’s to my personal musings and what other nonsense comes from my brain during this process!

Hey, it’s not nonsense. Write what you like and want. That’s the correct thing to write. 😀

I am on this very same journey, but you seem much further than me. I’m still fixing the first draft to start a second, and I’ll probably draft three more times after that. So I’d definitely love to see your journey through this process!

I’m probably not as close as I think I am. I often feel like the dog in Mulan, always SO CLOSE to the treat! lol

I completely understand where you are coming from! Writing is hard and just when you think your getting somewhere the target just moves away.

Bree, I love your candor. I always do and your transparency is so encouraging to me. I am still in revisions, still chugging along and I am still riding that roller coaster of wanting to give up and then coming back to work diligently only to feel that what I’ve done is lackluster and I fall off once more. It’s nice to know that I am not alone. Thank you for the reminder. And of course, good luck!

As always, your support means so much to me! And I completely empathize with the lackluster bit. Every once in a while I go back to reread what I thought was a “good” example of my writing in the last draft only to be utterly embarrassed I made my betas read that mess. Tis a work in progress!
