#introduction

Like others, I moved here from mastodon.social to get a smaller more writing orientated community and a server that responds quicker than a sloth on diazepam.

I've been a struggling writer for many years, hoping now to actually finish some works and get them out there while there are still some readers left in the world.

@richmadam I think we share some commonalities. I have published one chapbook of poems under a pseudonym, but that's about it. Though, I have trouble getting myself to submit my fiction. Working on redraft of a novel I hope to publish if I ever figure out the whole agent and/or small press thing

@StevenDBT I struggle to focus on one thing at a time. I also struggle to let go of that which may be done. We are our own worst critics, which is part of the reason to let go and have your literal children go into the world on their own.

Books are like kids in that way, except they aren't sick on you or expect hideously expensive games consoles for Christmas.

@richmadam and then don;t play the hideously expensive game they wanted for that console because its "boring." 😂
