Dear friends,
I must apologise for taking such a long time away from the forum. The truth is, I found the forum super helpful when I was still wallowing in writer's insecurity, wading through murky depths of my subconscious that held the story I was trying to write. Having a community of people who are all striving toward the same goal, and willing to help each other along the way, is a true gift and has seen me through many a writer's block. But in the end, writing stories is meant to be a lonely task for a reason, and I realised the forum was distracting me from what I came here to get help for in the first place.
I am super excited to tell you that my novel is written, and in the beta-reading stage! 131k words, 88 scenes, 33 chapters plus an epilogue, it's a faithful representation of all that was brewing below the surface. The feedback has been better than I could ever have hoped, and my writing skill has now matured into something I can use as a tool, rather than being a compulsion with a will of its own that I'm desperately trying to tame. I'm looking forward to what comes next, and I'm already planning my next story. And I couldn't have done it without the help and encouragement of so many people on this forum.
I hope you are all doing well, and that your writing projects are flourishing also! Take care and see you around xx
