I sent out both my short stories to contests.

Im feeling good because my writing coach liked what i wrote over the week.

Which is funny bevause i thought this week's writing was bad but she thought it was the best i've done.

Im feeling optimistic about getting published now.

In college, they teach you poetry as part of a creative writing course.

Ive written poetry but i dont think i understand it.

According to my writing coach, i write in layers which makes me sound like a baker.

my WIP is called "Mavericks". Its about a teen refugee that turns to magic in order to find his missing parents.

My writing coach recomended Yusuf falling for someone screwed up so i've been thinking about what that would be like.

last night, i wrote a fanfic between the lead of my WIP Yusuf and Cassie from Euphoria.

it reads like the beginning of a social link from Persona lol.

I'm struggling with the ol' art block. I haven't got my main pc up and running. My drawings/pixel art aren't getting any attention, and I look at my old work and just feel down.

I've also been looking over my old stories on this site and have even considered going back to writing... But I don't know what I should write about.

Write about something you are passionate about, and inject something from yourself into it @infested_sandwich

That way you will have a well of inspiration from your own experience.

ive been procrastinating on writing an outline for my novel. Im off work today so its a good a time as any.

@infested_sandwich
inspiration is curiosity meets excitement.

so look at what you are interested in or what you are dissapointed in from other stories as a starting point.

i have two current WIP novels titled "False Star" and "Mavericks"

Both are stalled because Act2 is intimidating me.

so i have to sort out my ideas and feelings. Hopefully i crack a method i can use in future projects.

Back into my devil may cry kick, after a long kick of Descendants lol

one of the reasons I'm procrastinating on my debut novel is because i want it to be the start of a series.

so im putting too much pressure on myself ala focusing the forest rather than enjoying the trees for what they are.

first impressions do matter but i gotta enjoy this ride.
