It feels like you're writing directly to me! I was recently told by a trusted author friend that she thinks I don't take enough risks in my writing, and that it's holding me back. It was painful feedback to hear. I don't want her to be right, but I think she is. The fear of vulnerability, exposure, getting ridiculed or canceled...it seems to loom with every email I send out, every note I post. But just like with anything else, the only way to get more is to risk more. So maybe this will be a growing edge in the new year - letting go of perfectionism and putting myself out there more. Thanks for the encouragement.
In the past I have hesitated to share my poems or writings. I consider myself to be very much an ametuer but since I have been on substack I have shed my shyness and have written how I feel. It no longer matters to me "how popular" my writings are - I just want to put them out there

I love your posts! Though I can't wait to see what you can achieve in 2025 😊💕
Ahh thank you! And I feel the exact same way about you and your posts!
I'm not the most savvy person when it comes to how technology works 😞
That's OK, it can be very tricky at times!
Freya I thought you might enjoy reading this poem about my Lulu. She was only 4.5 years old but she lives in my heart forever
please do share a link here xxx
Keep writing! You are great and don’t let anyone make you believe differently! ❤️
Awww thank you so much!

Exactly as you should! After all, we don't get to decide what our readers enjoy, but we do get to give them the choice.
I'm so glad you are on here writing!
thank you Freya - I enjoy reading your posts too
