Year in Writing Journal Activity - Motivation & Accomplishment for Writers If you haven’t already, I HIGHLY recommend doing a year-in-review type journal entry or blog post. It helps you review everything that you’ve accomplished during the year (and when I do it, I’m always pleasantly surprised at how much I’ve been able to accomplish because it’s always more than I thought!). It gives a great motivational boost moving into the new year and gives you a sense of accomplishment. I tried this out because I got to a point where I was thinking that I wasn’t doing enough . I felt unsatisfied every month because I didn’t feel like I had accomplished much. So, I called my own bluff! Starting last year, I started tracking what I was actually accomplishing every month, and then doing a year-in-review post at the end of the year. Ever since I made one at the end of last year (2020), it worked so well and I felt so accomplished and motivated that I decided I was going to keep making them. I’m...

Looking Back on 2021: This Year in Writing This year was a tough year for a lot of people, myself included. 2020 was tough, too, but I spent most of 2021 working from home, which can be quite challenging. It was hard, sometimes, to think that I wasn't getting enough done - wasn't being productive enough. And no matter how hard you work, when you have lots of projects and big dreams, it seems that feeling will always pop up throughout the year.  That's why I enjoy this exercise so much. Being able to look back on everything that I've accomplished makes me realize that I was productive enough and that I did do enough. Everything adds up, and looking back on everything I did this year gives me a big boost moving into the new year.  Note: Projects that are mentioned throughout the year include: 👉 Apartment , a novella [ Purchase ] 👉 101 Writing Prompts digital workbook [ Purchase ] [ Sample ] 👉 The Beast of Ildenwood serial fiction [ Read free on RR ] [ Read free on ...

Apartment is back at long last! You can find it here in both PDF and ePUB format. Blurb: James is a self-exiled artist and recluse who rarely leaves his apartment building. Angela is a lonely, bored accountant who feels her life has stagnated. Alex is on the run from a past that won't let go, eager for freedom and a normal, peaceful existence. Three people living in the same apartment building become increasingly suspicious of one another. When their building comes under attack, all three are catapulted into an absurd reality that forces them to face their pasts and their sins.   Want more?

Completing NaNoWriMo and Writathon in 2021 I recently completed both the NaNoWriMo challenge and the Writathon challenge, and I feel both motivated, proud, and immensely satisfied and thankful to have gotten the chance to give these two challenges a go.  Back in October, I learned that the RR Writathon challenge would be taking place from October 31 to December 5. Because it overlapped with NaNoWriMo (which takes place during November), and because I had had as part of my goals for the year to complete a couple of large projects that I haven't been able to work on at all in 2021, I was interested in giving both challenges a try.  I've known of NaNo for a long time, but have never had the chance to try it (November, for some reason, has been a notoriously busy month for me). This November, however, I decided to put my foot down and seriously (though unofficially) participate in the challenge.   I also decided that I would use the same project for both of them. Since t...
