Where Does Time Go??

 I came back to blogging with the intention of writing at least one post a week. So far... that hasn't panned out and it's the 19th of Feb already. It feels like I just took my Christmas tree down a week ago - that's how fast the time is flying! 

However, in my defence, I have been super busy with my writers' community! We re-opened our doors at the end of January, and it's been non-stop ever since. I've been a little swept up in how amazing the members are doing since joining. Some were with us at the very beginning last year, and some are brand new.



In that whole time, we've had authors jumping out of their comfort zone to join our live sprinting sessions and proving how many words they can get down if they stay focused. We've had people thriving after things they've learned in our masterclasses. Particularly popular was our Newsletter Success class which seemed to get everyone excited about newsletters again! But the thing I love the most is that authors who joined feeling low and undermotivated have got their mojo back after being inside such a warm, supportive community. It's just the most joyful thing to see writers lifting each other up! 

In terms of writing, I have finally managed to get my own mojo back and I'm beginning to work hard on a single dad romance that has been a part of my life since I was fourteen. It never used to be a single dad romance. However, over the years, I stole aspects from the original story thinking it would never get published, so I've had to do a complete overhaul on it. I actually like the new version better. It's coming out with a humour I wasn't aware I possessed, but I'm having fun with writing again and that makes me happy!

    So glad to hear you're having fun! And, I've done that before - stolen parts of other stories, although occasionally it's been unintentional and I've regretted it.

      Yeah, I have done it with other stories and wished I hadn't! But this one... it's much better now. Or it will be when I finish with it lol!

    Sometimes a complete overhaul works wonders.
    That's great you are inspiring so many writers write now.

      Yeah, it has amazed me for sure!

      And thank you! Although, I think at this point, the authors are doing it more because of each other than me lol x

    Hi, Kyra! I'm visiting from the Insecure Writer's Support Group today. The title of your post is something I marvel at every day. The older I get, the faster time goes. Your writers' community sounds awesome. I hope it's continuing to flourish, and I hope you have managed to find some time to write!
