Welcome back to another Open Book Blog Hop!

Do you take yourself too seriously when it comes to your writing?

Remember to visit my fellow writers to see what they have created. You can find their work here!

I did for a long time. When I first attempted writing a book, I became so hung up on the details and the facts and worrying what readers would think or say if I got any of them wrong that it became stressful. I didn’t actually enjoy it. I took a long break before I got to a place where I wanted to write again. When I finally did, I’d stopped caring what others thought and actually enjoyed what I was writing.

It’s also why my writing of late has been on something of a hiatus. Things have been pretty busy lately in work and life, which doesn’t leave a lot of mental bandwidth for writing. If I’m not 100% feeling it, I’m not doing it. And that’s because I enjoy writing; I don’t want it to be a chore that I need to do.
