One thing I've always been is persistent. I once wrote a story on fictionpress, 6000 word chapter to open the story up. Had a bunch of fans on it. I deleted it because I wasn't satisfied with it.

We are our own worst critics... I never expected my little Memoir to do so well in terms of readership on here, let alone be featured for so long. Persistence comes in handy trust me, as it is something I had to learn much later in life. Thus all the what I call 'unfinishedness'... me starting things and never ending them.

Let the readers therefore determine the value of your work. Let them find in it what they seek. Your job is to put it out there, really, you provide words - be they easy or torn from you - and then the readers will reach out... That's what I've found anyhow.

I think everything for me will work out. I just wish I had more time to devote to writing. I did buy a notebook just for work.

Small steps. Good idea the notebook, I always carry one around and ALWAYS make sure a day doesn't pass without writing something down, even if it's a single word... One other day I might come back to that word and make a story of it see???

Whatever happened with William? Is he still alive today?

No spoilers. Hoping you are well and writing/processing :) I have intermittent internet today, was without it all night so couldn't upload any updates... Fingers crossed, I may be uploading the first Chapter of Stepping Off later...
