To my followers who have probably forgotten I was here....well thats understandable, I've basically gone extinct the past few years. I've checked up on your guy's progress, and I have to say congrats! I see more views on some of your most impressive works. You earned them!
I wish I could say I'm here to stay, but I am a wishy-washy writer who lacks confidence. And who has writers block. I don't know what people want to read, I don't even know what I want to read. So I can't choose what to write and stick with it. Some say write the story on your heart.... easier said than done. Here we are writers, in our personal community it, I love it. And I look forward to returning a bit more, exploring the art, and maybe finding the inspiration and motivation I've been lacking.
I've reviewed my first works on here...needless to say I was in high school and didn't have the best skills. Though I will say some of you were very skilled back then, and I encourage you to continue to grow in your craft. Me though? I've never found the story to stick with, the characters to fall in love with, the plot to capture. So for a long while I put away the dream, put away the keyboard, deleted the app.
But alas here it is spring again, a beautiful time here in the PNW, and it always inspires me. It makes me long for the escape of my imagination, the people I could be, the places I could be. But I also am so aware of reality, and how I must remain here. The line between fiction and reality was a real struggle for me in the past. But now, maybe now I can write my fiction, and still press on in my reality. I want ot create something that you all love, that you want to escape to. The people want to be, the places you want to go. So that on those rainy days, you can hope, hope that the future has endless possibilities.
Here's to the hope of being better writers, giving the world hope, encouragement, dreams. Here's to Wattpad, our super power.
