Challenge

Gold Stars and Losing Streaks
This week marks 26 weeks of consistent writing, a streak that is exactly half a year long. Except it doesn’t. Somehow, between weeks 24 and 26, I missed a deadline or something because even though I published a piece every week- whether it was a poem, an essay, a chapter from my book, or just a little blurb- I got an email saying congratulations on your ONE WEEK STREAK.

Loving This: Reflections on "A Story Every Day" So Far (June Edition)
The Nuts & Bolts As of the last day in June: it's now 182 days in to the yearlong Story Every Day challenge, which started on 1st January. Halfway there, as of 1st July! Still in it! I've posted a short story every day this year so far. My word count for June: 13,726. That's a little less than average for me. It includes all my micros, (sans the authors note), my look back at May, challenge entries, updates on my unofficial Fucked Up Fairytales challenge, musings about the 3am challenge, a recipe, and a review. Stats: My monthly peak at my stats shows that my read count has gone up a bit, but still not at the peak it was a few months ago. Reads: Busted past the 11k mark in June, so there's that. My most-read , most-liked story in June was story #157, "I am Jack's Tumour". It's not actually very well read, or very well-liked; it's on page seven of the stats. Top Stories: Only two this month! Jack's Tumour was the first one, then #172, The Syrup Dream. Sleeping Beauty was published on the 30th, but not made top story until a day or two later, so it should probably be in my July count.

An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.

Positive Words
Introduction I sometimes have a problem writing, because although almost everything I see or discover gives me a reason to write, I often pull back because I see the subject as not uplifting or positive enough.

Don’t Stop Consuming Content If You Are Writing a Book.
Writing a book or story can be difficult. One reason people may stop reading, watching TV, or doing something else to consume content is that they don’t want to copy an idea. I have seen this many times in my own writing group and have talked to aspiring authors who have thought the same thing. If you consume media, then you are likely to create a copy or something similar to an already existing story.
