Confession
I haven’t written a thing in months.
I completely rewrote my Tristan story based on my line editor’s notes about narration vs narrator and just stopped writing.
I needed a break.
My mind was full of correct but not correct for me writing advice. I was writing for other writers not for myself or readers. I was always worried about my prose being good enough or industry standard. Every word was judged by whether it would sell or fit into expected genre plot points.
I was fixated on form not function.
A couple days ago, I started writing again and it felt like the old days when I didn’t know anything.
Nice.
