Ceri Ashward, AuthorMapping My Writing Life: A Look Inside the Creative Atlas System
Today I want to share a look at the writing systems I’ve been building, and how they all work together under what I call my Creative Atlas System. On the surface, it might look like I’m juggling a lot of projects at once. In practice, it’s a structured way of rotating between different types of creative work depending on focus, energy, and curiosity for the day. Instead of staying locked into a single project, I move through different modes of writing—some days for deep novel work, […]

gavinturnerwrites.comThe risk of sharing your writing – from rejection to publishing two books
Daily writing prompt Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. View all responsesThe Risk of Sharing Your Writing
Maybe it was a risk to never send anything out for consideration.
There’s always that voice at the back of your mind:
What will people think?
Will they like it?
What if they hate it?
What if they reject it?
The truth is—those things can and will happen.
Anything you put into the public domain is open to both criticism and praise. That’s part of the deal. I’ve had plenty of pieces rejected over the years (it comes with the territory), and I’ve also seen that moment of surprise when people realise I write—something that doesn’t quite fit their expectations.
Why Taking Risks as a Writer Matters
Without risk, there is no reward.
Taking that first step—sending your work out, submitting a poem, publishing a story—is like opening a door. You don’t always know what’s behind it, but opportunity is there waiting.
It might not work out every time. But you learn. You experience it. And that counts for something.
So the real question is:
Isn’t it worth taking the risk just to see where it leads?
From Rejection to Publishing Books
I wrote the original version of this piece over a year ago.
Since then, things have changed.
I now have two books published, and each one came with its own level of risk.
My first book, A Mouthful of Space Dust, is a collection of slightly strange (and hopefully funny) poetry. If you enjoy poems about psychotic cats, vicars with road rage, and unusual characters, it might be exactly what you’re looking for.
A Mouthful of Space Dust by Gavin Turner
My second book is an even bigger leap—my first novella, Chopsticks.
It asks a strange question:
What if you were a brilliant but crooked musician… cursed to only ever play one tune?
Chopsticks by Gavin Turner
Both books are available on Amazon as paperback and ebook.
The Balance Between Risk and Reward
This is what it really comes down to—the balance between risk and reward.
Does it still feel risky sharing my work?
Absolutely.
But what’s the alternative?
Keeping everything to yourself?
Stories are meant to be shared.
A Message for Writers
Maybe there’s a story you’ve been holding back.
Maybe you’ve been waiting for the “right time” or the confidence to send it out.
That moment might never come.
But the opportunity is still there.
Take the risk. Open the door. See where it leads.
