I’ve finally realised that my writing was only limited by fear! Since I found out that my first story was accepted I have had lots of ideas for more.
Last night I sat down to write one story and actually completed the first draft. I’m really pleased with the result too!
In some ways I’m now wondering why I didn’t try to write before. In reality I suspect I have been like a glass filling with water. All the experiences have been collecting up in me and finally I have reached the point where they are spilling out onto the page.
With any luck I can repeat the early success, but I am very aware that a writer’s badges of honour usually include plenty of rejections too. I just need to learn to be resilient and keep trying. Sounds easy when you put it like that!!
