now, i want to share my story to help others overcome!
thank you so very much for your advice! I so appreciate your content!
thank you
now i feel like i can do it. 5
2. Instead of having to not use a whole section of meticulously written prose when you decide at a later stage that it doesnt contribute to the story, youd have already picked the best story events before you started writing. There are tons of events that i noted down ratherat the time it came to mind but ive had to strike off eventually
it lead me to learn my hispanic grandfathers second wife actually knew him, grew up in the same town and dated his cousin!
i also followed ldp on twitter and he has responded to me multiple times which really gave me serious butterflies!
thank you again
but my early 20s saw me putting a stop to writing - higher education, job search, settling in - all of that caused me to stash my creative self on a high shelf. In my late 20s now, and i realize that i am not as happy as i used to be when i used to write.
and this video of yours is just the ladder i needed to reach back up to the high shelves, dust my creativity and set paper to fire with the pen! Would be lovely if i get to know of a series of such videos of yours helping writers step by step
i have discovered that i am not stupid or a looser, these were labels and beliefs that i had adopted, well i don' t really need to write my own story, i want to write a book about how i woke up to my potential, by becoming my best version, but i know it would be great to add my personal experience, the process and how i discovered this.
thank you so much for this
do you have any other tools that you can point me to?
i appreciate your video and am going to attempt to do this excersize now. Thank you for the advice i had no idea even where to begin. I am not a skilled writer.
