Girl, Let me guess.
Are you are an amateur or newbie woman-writer
with an old soul? Maybe you don’t fully integrate into today’s
“ratchet-culture” craze. I mean, you’re okay with grooving
to Cardi B here and there, but you’d just truly prefer
a great book and well-brewed wine all curled up
in your bed discovering a new world,
or better yet, creating it yourself. |

HERE are some real-life comments from my Instagram Inbox:
“... But I can’t find the time or discipline to
write often. I work full-time” - Sandra from Houston.

If any of these questions sound like you asked them,
You should officially change your Facebook status
to “I’m a writer.” Looks like you’re yearning
to better understand the Behind- The- Scenes
process of writing, but let’s face it.
Sometimes you lack inspiration or discipline to do so,
or just don’t always feel your material is up to par,
and so you never publish. You may hold on all material until the hair inunspoken areas of your body turns gray.
