Shifting Gears In My Writing Life

So, I haven’t been writing much. A lot of that has to do with all of the editorial work that I have been doing.

It’s a weird place to be, to be honest. I have taken on more responsibility on that side of the writer’s life and I am still coming to terms with how that feels for me… not constantly writing and publishing and workshopping.

Am I still a writer if I am focusing on editing other people’s work? Will my FOMO rear its ugly head when I see other people getting published more than myself? It’s possible. I am not immune to being jealous of other writer’s successes. I guess that maybe never goes away no matter how many times you’ve been published.

I’m a little scared about this, but I am also wondering if when I go back to writing, that it will help me be a better writer. I hope so.

I hope that wherever you are that you are staying safe. Sending light, love and creativity.
