Melanie's Mostly Writing

Today has not been my best day mentally. I’m feeling a sense of unease at being back on social media. It’s a long time since I first had a blog and Twitter account. I feel exposed now after years of privacy. But I guess I can control my content and there’s the upside of reaching out to others.

I also feel incredibly unworthy as a writer, unpublishable even. Perhaps every writer feels this lack of self belief, or lack of confidence in their material. The way I cope right now is to think I am only writing for myself. If I can finish a novel then I’ll worry about putting it out there later.
