It’s been over a year since I last released anything on here. Back in 2017 I made all of my books private and stopped writing them altogether (apart from a few bursts of inspiration here and there). This was mainly because I felt there was nowhere to go with the stories. They felt immature and off-putting to read, to me. I also realised that my agonising over each and every word wasn’t time well spent, and I ultimately grew to dislike even thinking of what happens next.
Instead of enjoying writing, I ended up loathing it. But I’m back! With a new outlook on things. I feel like through time I’ve improved a little and in hindsight I see how terrible my old books were. I still want to develop my ability to write but I can’t do that without actually writing. So I’m going to completely revamp my plot and begin again, however this time I’ll write, edit lightly, and then publish. No more perfectionism. I’m always putting more pressure on things like this than need be.
Ding ding! Round two.
