Busy witching dreams! An update

For this year, I have some writing goals!

Usually, when I have been unusually quiet on my blog, I was busy with non-writing related things that had eaten up all my energy, and although in the past few weeks that had also been true, there is better reason for my quietness this time.

I have the goal to successfully publish a short story this year!

For me, this is huge. Although I have been writing all my life and even spend some time at the theater when I was in my late teens, I have for years been discouraged and just assumed that my writing would get me nowhere. The point is that I did not even try. I never really was rejected, I just assumed that I would be.

For this year, I want to change that. I want more people to take a look at my work, even official people. I am prepared for rejection, and I am prepared to keep going. I think the more I put myself out there, the more chances there are to accomplish something. I know that this sounds simple, but I could not view things like this for many years and never did the things I wanted to do.

So, instead of writing for my blog, I have mostly been working on a short story and old novel manuscript I am going to send out. To do younger me a favour, and to proof that I can do it.
I am even having the same motivation in other, more official areas of my life. I am back in university, trying to reach other much older goals.

I think I am slowly learning to be me and also to endure being looked at as me. Having a witch in the back of my head that demands an Iced Latte, Vanilla scented candles and to look for roses when it‘s raining makes this a lot easier.

I think for the first time in years I am actually living my life as me again.
I‘m so excited, I haven‘t slept in days.
