RE: It All Went Down at the Whistling Fart ~ April Writing Madness, Day Seven!

in Scholar and Scribe β€’ 3 years ago (edited)

Cheers!! πŸ˜ƒπŸ» That's my plan!! I published my first book in 2019, another in 2020, but then I was lazy last year and didn't publish a thing, so forcing myself to this year. XD And the best way to kick myself in the butt and get this rolling was this Month of Madness! Once done, planning on spending a few months editing it and stuff, and voila.

That's so cool! Nothing wrong with being lazy, I'm glad to hear you were inspired to get back into it. I have the hopes of publishing a book soon.

I finished a Sci-fi novel about a year ago, I actually wrote it as 10 scripts for a first season as a TV show. Decided there's no way someone would buy this, so reformated the whole thing, which killed me, but I got it done. While editing it, I thought "This really needs a book to lead up to this." So, have left that there and had the intention of writing a new book leading up to it. But, was so burnt out, that I hadn't started it.

Since joining Hive though and being apart of the different writing communities I've started! It's been a lot of fun and it's good being able to dig up all my notes and do some more world building!

That's pretty spiffy!! And I completely understand being burnt out. πŸ˜… I think that was my issue last year.

Joining Hive has been immense for my writing and I've heard quite a few authors say the same thing. A lot of the things I've written, my motivation, inspiration, just would not have existed if not for being here. This is a fantastic place for any author to be! 😊

That's the thing, I've never publicly shown any of my writing to anyone before joining. They just kind of sat on my computer gathering dust. But, I feel a lot more confident in myself since posting and as well as that I've had people give me hints and tips too which has been great, I think being critized is a good thing as it helps us grow and learn. Especially if it is from someone who knows what they're talking about.

I always wanted to do blogging or something, but, didn't know where to go or how to start. So glad I found this platform and I've met a lot of really cool people through it. There are so many really talented people on here. You're right, it's the perfect place for authors to be!
