Keep in mind both that taking breaks is good and that forcing yourself to write when you don't feel up to it can actually result in worse writing. Sometimes taking a break is best. 

Oh my storms SO TRUE

Hello tam!!! 

*hugs*

Yeah I feel that. While I dont do normal writing i roleplay and draw lore/stories alot. And it sucks when you cant move it forward. *hugsss*

Sometimes you just gotta take a small break and come back to it later.

I have a job, its nice talking to creative people. Living in a rural area can be hard. Sometimes its lonely. I have my wife who is musical. I have a mental health writing group. It's not quite what I want. I would like feedback, to better my writing. To get to the level of the authors I love.

There is a story im working on. It's a story I have to write. It's cyperpunk (I read Neromancer a while back. My cyperpunk pales in comparison.) It's topics are heavy. I lived a heavy life n this is a personal story. It's made up why I choose cyperpunk as a genre. If I could pm scenes to you to get feedback. That would be wonderful.

Trigger warning for heavy subjects n I talk about Jesus which is my faith n worldview. 

 

I wrote a letter to a lady at church recently, and I don't know if anyone on this platform has been through sexual abuse before. I personally haven't myself, but my sister has, and all the things I had to go through with her. It's a heartbreaking thing and leaves damage behind. I edited the letter to post it online for safety reasons. It's from a Christian worldview. I just want you to know that you are loved and I stand with you. 

 

Spoiler

    As someone who has watched someone I deeply love, my little sister, go through so much. As a big brother who had to step in to be a father to a little girl who never had one. Our father just left us, the man her mother married. He was a monster more than a man.
    I understand that this is hard, as I have seen the results firsthand of the damage that it brings. I have felt the anger that this injustice brings. 
    I am holding myself back right now; there is so much pain here. I know that this sucks. I can only speak for myself. I was just a little kid, I couldn’t do a thing, and I carried guilt about it for years. 
Right now, my sissy and I, she calls me Bubba, have always when the few times I saw her growing up. We spent most of our childhoods apart. Now we are making up lost time. I will do anything and be anything that she needs me to be. Right now, it is a brother and an uncle to her daughter. That was hard. How many times was I told she was a lost cause, that I should give up on her? She was suicidal, and if she died without me doing everything in my power, well, I would have been broken into a million pieces. So I was there, and the only thing that got me through that was thinking about her and her soul. 
    My favorite passage in the Bible is John 10, and I love John 10:10: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  
     Speaking this because I don’t feel good enough. My biological father chose drugs over me, and that has always hurt. It got to the point that even though I know better, sometimes I think that when I get to heaven, which I know that I will, God will put me in some corner of heaven where He doesn’t have to be around me because I am not good enough. Children are a gift from God, and they are the future. I say this because look at my life, adopted, pain, unhealed trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms. That is my family's past, and I told my sister that we have to break this crazy cycle, shatter it in a million pieces. Live our lives our own way, differently from those in the past. I prayed to God that he would kill me if I turned into a man like my biological father, cause I would be better off dead than to live and damage lives like he had done. 
    Well, in conclusion, God is good. He will guide us, and I do believe that the things we carry will be gone in the end. I have a broken mind that will be made right, and this anger and pain I carry will be gone, too. Justice will be served to those outside of Christ. Take comfort in the fact that God hasn’t forgotten the things done to you and that he loves you. I know God is brokenhearted over this; how many countless tears have God and I wept together. God hates hurting children; little ones should be protected. 
    My heart is with you. I will stand with you in this. 

God loves you

I melted down over personal reasons. My hand hurts other than that im fine. Hope things can get better. I believe in love n that loving a person can make them a better person as you walk beside them. It's messy and hard at times though

I'm alive. Sleep deprived, but alive. We've changed my 6 year old daughter's ADHD meds, so that's an...interesting...transition. But the focus is better, she hasn't had a potty accident in 2-3 days, and she isn't randomly falling asleep at awkward times and then denying she was ever asleep when she wakes up. So... progress?

In other news, my novel is up to 28,000 words, I'm doing revisions on a few scenes and know what I'm going to do when I'm done, so... also progress?
