How about a nice, gentle Sunday #writerslift ? If you're looking to connect, make friends, promote yourself or your work, just drop a reply and say hi, introduce yourself, mingle, follow and show why the #WritingCommunity is such an amazing thing to be part of.

So I handwrite my first draft. Edit as I type up as in add/remove change (the stage I'm at now) Then I plan on checking spelling and grammar last. I'm new to this. Is that weird?

Dance with no rhythm Sing all the wrong words Cry when you're happy Laugh at inappropriate things Be a lone voice in a silent crowd Colour outside the lines Love who you love Be a unicorn Be a rocketship Be whatever you want Just be you You're fucking amazing

I haven't been feeling great about myself recently. I've become a bit oversensitive about things and I think it's best if I have a little break because I feel a bit too exposed by this at the moment and I don't feel up to it. Hopefully be back soon.

So I haven't posted much writing in a while, the odd bit I have hasn't gone down that well. I'm suffering a fairly big crisis of confidence in terms of my writing ability. I know I'm not the only one who has 'what's the point' moments with their work. It's just hard right now.

She places a bowl of steamed #rice in front of him. "You sure that's all you want?" "Yes, thank you," he replies. "Well, enjoy your-" "Actually, there is one more thing," he says, sliding something onto the counter. Her eyes widen in horror as she stares at the polaroid. #vss365
