When I go on Twitter and I see my fellow fiction writers tweeting wise about all things literary prose, I get excited and I want to carry on with my own novel writing. This blog post might seem peppy and annoying, but really it's not. I'm just so stoked about a new novel idea so...
HOLD UP.
Don't go there. Do not start that crap again. You are not allowed to start a new manuscript without having finished your last one.
But-
No buts about it! Finish what you start, girl.
Okay, now that's out of the way I can just do a little insert here about my new novel idea that I promise to put aside for later. Totally AFTER the completion of the manuscript I have on the go at the moment.
But yeah, blogging about stuff, sharing with writers on twitter and facebook, etc. It's a great community for keeping up your writing spirits. Especially with the way things are at the moment. Well, the way things have been during an actual global pandemic. Sometimes when I think about it I still can't quite believe this happened. I mean, experts knew it would. Heck, even movie makers and dystopia novel writers knew a massive pandemic would hit real life soon. What no one expected was how to deal with the day to day, hour by hour struggle of it all.
I'm sure my writing is picking up because it's spring time, the vaccinations are going well, and there are plans in place for the economy to start opening up again. All things combined I feel like the writerly side of twitter makes the social media platform not feel like a cesspit. As it did during winter.
This morning on the radio I heard about another celebrity who deleted their twitter account saying it's too toxic. It is. I agree. Sometimes I go off twitter too, but I always come back. So far.
Anyway, why am I blogging about twitter? I usually hate it.
So fare well and off I go to finish my manuscript and absolutely not start writing a new one. I promise.
