@emma-starr it has a beautiful simplicity that makes it extremely powerful. The one thing I would change is add one more line to the end. It ends rather abruptly as it is, but something like ‘saying goodbye’ or ‘finding you in the dark’ or something equally melancholy but emotionally satisfying could smooth it out very well.

@eden-anderson awwww *blushes* *doesn’t know what to do with herself* Thank you! I’m actually kind of happy that you thought it was the typical chosen one story starting out, because I did that on purpose. š At the risk of shooting myself in the foot, I wanted to use those tropes to showcase everything problematic with that mentality. ‘Chosen…[Read more]

@eden-anderson what @gabrielle-pollack said. š
Another thing is to realize that ‘success’ is relative. If you set yourself a goal for the goal’s sake, you’re going to get there and realize it’s not enough. There will always be another level of ‘perfection’ you can strive for— someone else to please, some critic’s good opinion to win. I’ve…[Read more]

@eden-anderson I know exactly what you mean. It’s hard to find a logical balance between relying on the people around you for encouragement and support and pressing on without it, especially when you’re emotionally involved.
All my life I’ve tended to take things too personally, so reminding myself that perceived ‘neglect’ from others probably…[Read more]

@msqueen8 oh wow! What a small world! š Dear me, that’s hilarious. XD Yep, I’m still in the small stages of building a platform, and it’s been a challenge in a lot of ways, but it’s also been pretty fun and a very good learning experience. Can recommend. š

I have this little nagging feeling that tells me I need to accomplish something big before I actually tell people Iām a writer so I seem legit.
Ouch.

@msqueen8 thanks, that’s great advice! I’ve prayed for it generally, but never before anticipated conversations. That’s a really good idea.

Great advice. Exercise is probably the biggest for me. I’ve been trying to take more walks lately for physical and mental stimulation. Guess I’d better keep it up. š
