Can’t wait for more. Your writing bubble makes me think of my solitary runs. I live in fear that someday I won’t be able to match the peace, purpose, identity it gives me. Carry on dear Alanna, one step at a time! ♥️
Aww thank you! One step at a time indeed, in writing and running and life in general. Your comment got me thinking about how painful it is to lose the ability to do something that is central to your identity... I know many of us have spent a lot of time grappling with changes in identity/purpose these past few years! Maybe I’ll write something about that in the future 💕
Agree about journaling feeling like homework and needing to share my work, even though sharing gives me huge anxiety about potential rejection! I used to like journaling but right now it feels like a dead thing to me. I’m also with you on needing a container for thought-processing. So interested to hear all about your journey surrounding writing and publishing, and curious to learn what thoughts and processing the novels assisted with (see, I’m nosy at heart ).
Haha well it makes me happy to hear that you are interested in following along—I guess there's kind of a symbiotic relationship going on between the writer who feels compelled to share and the "nosy" reader ;) Seems like we have a lot in common, and I'm glad to have you along for the ride!

Sounds very promising, Alanna, wish you great luck in your new online home! AP
Thank you so much! ☺️
This looks interesting! I look forward to the next post.
Thanks, Marc, good to have you here!
