It’s been two years since I self published my novel and what a journey!
I have learnt so much about my writing style, public speaking, inner critic and confidence from this journey. I have fallen more into writing poetry for contests and I love the challenge each and every time. I have struggled through my negative thoughts and failed at sticking to a schedule for writing. But I’ve stuck with it, and I still love it and I’m actively writing my sequel for Justyce Scales and redesigning the novel cover for the first book so the two books will match.
I also went on a self discovery through my own shadow theory and learnt what I needed to forgive myself for so I can feel like a more rounded human being. I learnt I absolutely cannot write shorts or novels or even edit if I’m in a negative mood, sad, mad or judgy of myself or others. Even poetry is difficult to squeeze out at times.
So I’ve given myself patience when I need it and creative freedom when I can take it and I hope you give yourself the same compassion.
forever writing,
Norma Rrae
