Hey all!
Just posted Chapter 2 of the story I was not intending to publish, despite my gut telling me I should really take it down, because it’s not edited, not refined, and not finished.
But I realised something.
I’ve been wanting to write this story for a while. Bits and pieces of me and my story are in this work, rough as it is, but because of that, I’ve been putting off writing it for so long. I’m not the best at talking about what goes on for me in my life, and even doing so indirectly makes me nervous.
But as I stared in horror at the blue ‘Published’ over Chapter One’s toggle, I realised that, unless I had this awful first draft published and out there, with people - or even just one person - reading it, and wondering what will happen next, I would never be able to bring myself to complete this story.
Now I have a reason to write. Now I have the motivation to get these feelings off my chest and shove them into the lives of my poor, poor characters.
And I hope y’all don’t mind ‘Shenanigans’ occasionally cluttering your notifications.
I love you guys. Until next time.
