He doesn’t have to hit you to hurt you.

Abuse comes in many forms. — I will not be describing any of the incidents here. If you want the graphic details you will need to trawl back through my memoir pieces. I have no desire to relive any of it right now. I have written in the past about my experiences with terrible boyfriends and…

Diary of Being a Writer; Month 58.

Writing on Medium and writing my novel. — We are almost at the end of February. That one went quick. Frankly, I am not even sure I could tell you what I have been doing. I mean, if I thought really hard I could but also do you really want to know? It will be about kids, pets…

Being a Writer on Social Media

To be honest, I‘m not excellent at it right now. — I may not have mentioned this previously, but I have been taking a break from most social media. I can’t say all as I look at the top posts on Reddit in my chosen subreddits, r/AnimalsBeingDerps/ , r/justwriterthings/, r/urbanfantasy/, r/aww/ and r/writers/.

Diary of Being a Writer; Month 56.
