The Art of Recovery
As writers, especially new writers, there’s something we come up against in cycles constantly. For me, it’s usually about a month. I begin feeling motivated to write. Every minute I’m thinking of what I can add to make my story come to life. I feel excited, inspired, and confident in myself. Then the questions come.Continue reading “The Art of Recovery”
