Like any other art form, writing is an amazing way to express yourself. Whether through paper or online, for an audience or just for yourself, there are a lot of wonderful ways writing can lead to self improvement, higher self esteem, and other benefits. Let's get together for our final blog post of 2022, to learn how to get your next story started.
When writers start out, one the first things that comes to mind is how others will view what you've written. For some, this might be a worry, since you never know how someone will feel about what you've written. However, no matter the reaction to your writing, there's only one person who knows the real quality of your work: yourself. In this TEDTalk YouTube video, U.K author Beth Reekles describes her experience of using writing as a form of escapism growing up, and how she eventually wrote a smash hit, and got a deal from a publishing house.
