Figured it was time I introduced myself. Haven't made a single post despite joining a few months ago! Lessee, studied creative writing in school, never published, and have only ever finished a few short stories. Failure to launch thing going on but I've promised myself to complete a story by the end of this year or shelf writing indefinitely! It is working to motivate me. Probably won't stick to quitting writing if I fail, but don't tell myself that.
Hi, marshipan, and welcome to the forum! Please read the rules. (I assume if you've been here for a few months, you've done that.) Enjoy the place, if you haven't been already!
Hi, welcome to the forum. No reason to ever give up, IMO. Rest, go slow, get other stuff done, sure, but give up? Nah.
