them: How's the writing going?
me: Fine, thanks.
them: What are you writing?
me: Um...
them: Where do you come up with your ideas? Can I read whatever it is you're writing?
me: (why did I tell them I was a writer?)

Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
of love and dreams to share."

Being a writer - published or unpublished - can be lonely and isolating. Just remember, the writing community understands, & you aren't alone. We've all had similar ups & downs. Just keep going!

Changed a few things for my 2nd draft:
Tense from present to past
POV from 1st to 3rd person
Delete stuff, add stuff.
Now I don't like it, but I love some of it, so I have to go back to the original & put in only the stuff that works.

me: (typing) "She opens the door..." Wait, what kind of door? Painted or varnished? Glass or metal doorknob?

my character: Can I open the damn door please?
