This doesn't mean write every day for a certain amount of time. It means don't give up on your writing. If a story isn't working, then fine. Move on. Start a new story.
Accept that rejection is a part of being a writer. You will always face rejection. Even the most famous writers still face rejection.
Writing is supposed to be what we love. If you don't love it, then what are you doing? So don't forget what you're writing for. (less)

Clandestine's 1st Birthday!

Clandestine by Hannah Rials by Valarie Budyr It's extremely surreal to celebrate the first birthday of my second book, which means Ascension is nearly two years old!
But really, these stories are much older to me than just two years. I started writing the story that would become Ascension when I was twelve years old. This was after blitz reading Twilight and Vampire Academy and House of Night and Blue Bloods. I attribute my writing caree Read more of this blog post »

Flesh by David Szalay
"4.5

I literally had no interest in reading this until I saw an interview with Daisy Johnson (one of my fave writers) saying how much she loved it.

No one was more surprised than me that I found myself loving it from the very first pages. This is an in" Read more of this review »

"It wasn’t really the book the blurb promised, (I was hoping to be catapulted interstellar style into a black hole) but I was pleasantly surprised by it nonetheless.

3.5 - was excited by the premise and still think it’s very fun! But the writing was lackluster and at times overwritten, a bit boring at parts for a fantasy. She needed a better editor cause it was 200 pages too long with not a lot happening.

She does it again, another heart wrenching, powerful story through the lense of love for animals. You might be shaking your head at another WWII story, but this shows a different facet, and it’s set in France! I think this is great for fans of Liz Ke ...more
