Call For Submissions: Are You Supported On Your Creative Journey?

Writing and creating can be a lonely road. Even well-intentioned friends can impress their fears and doubts about your pursuit of a creative career. You know how passionate you are, but you also know how difficult it is to make money as a writer or creative so those doubts get louder and louder with each day that passes.

Support is crucial during these moments. Every creative pursuit is filled with indecision, uncertainty and fear that what you’re doing is pointless. Without the right support structures in place, both emotionally and functionally, maintaining your pursuits becomes difficult.

So let’s talk about support. Have you been supported on your writing journey? Do you feel emotionally uplifted or discouraged as you pursue your creative passions?
