Procrastinating... and my musings, I guess.

I have come to the conclusion that I am procrastinating.

I have found myself with too much to write. I have book 2 of the Caramere Saga well underway, Part 1 of the Voyages of UES Gagarin - Planetfall to begin, and my advanced certificate of creative writing to complete. Plus, I am throwing myself into reviewing lesser-known indie authors. Miss Lakewood, the girl with the purple strand, has been an inspiration in that regard, and as my books have no current reviews, I believe the only way to fix a problem is to do it yourself. So I am supporting my fellow authors, and I am told that the more you read, the better writer you become, so either way, it is a path to improvement.

Lastly, I find myself drawn to poetry as of late. Releasing several on my substack and social media platforms. 40 years had a comment that really stuck with me, the reader stating the poem was 'profound'.

I don't know if anyone will ever read any of this, but it is for posterity, I guess. I initially began writing for my children. To leave something behind for them and maybe inspire them to create their own works or continue telling stories within the world I had created.

I should get back to it if only for them.

STRANGE GIRL  BOOK REVIEWS Substack is the perfect environment to express your creative writing or even to post short stories which are more 'outside of your comfort zone' without any pressure.
I'm very proud of you Mr. Rutland!
Cheers from the strange girl with the violet strand 💜
