Writing

How many of you have started a book, blog, poem, short story, or any other type of work and just stopped.
Why? What stopped you from finishing?
I have wanted to be a writer my whole life. I started and stopped so many projects. It wasn't until I had someone who really kept me accountable that I got far enough into the book that I REFUSED to stop. HA!
I was so scared to put my first book out there.
Honestly, I still am. People reading my book is surreal. Putting myself out there and being vulnerable is SCARY! It doesn't help that I have crippling anxiety. I say all that to say, YOU CAN DO IT!
Even if you are writing just for you. I remember writing a few scenes in MOA and I was BAWLING because I was opening wounds I didn't realize hadn't closed/healed. It was both healing and eye opening how writing is a form of therapy for me. I still struggle with imposter syndrome and feelings of inadequacy but then I remember that I FUCKING DID IT. I remember that there are people out there who love my story or who have been touched by my story and it makes it a little easier.
If you made it all the way to the end of this rant, I appreciate it. What are you working on that you want to finish? What do you feel like is holding you back from actually doing so?
What is your motivation for writing?

Now, if you made it all the way to this point... you will know the title of book two before anyone else....
The title of book two is......
Eternal Curse. :)

With all the love and support,
