I know it has been a while since I last blogged here. The reason behind it is simple. I was still drafting with no end in sight. Being a writer is not an easy task and it isn't simply because it is hard to get publishers to publish your work, it is because it is often a lonely profession. True finding a publisher is difficult, but so is the latter.
I have felt alone, lost in a sea of writing and storytelling, but with no port to dock at. Not a single lighthouse to be seen. So in truth there was no real news to give, till now.
Yes I have found a lighthouse. I have a friend who is also working on her own writing. She does not have the same goal has mine, but we both want to tell our stories to the world. Regardless, these stories need a lot of attention, care, and nurturing.
Through friendship and common goals, we decided to workshop each other's work. Allowing your work to go through work shopping, helps strengthen your writing and to learn how to become a better writer or story-teller.
Keep in mind these workshops aren't always going to go the way you think because here is where your work really comes for inspection like a person would go to a doctor to make sure their health is good. Your work goes through various types of feedback, including constructive criticism. Constructive criticism isn't easy to hear or handle, but it is essential if you are want to do right by your work.
So this is where I am at the current moment. I will keep you all posted on latest news.
