I’m pretty sure you help me more than I help you 😅. So happy to have you in my writing corner ☺️. Your stories turned me into a cozy romance book lover, even more when you slip in some fantasy there 😉. I’ll never get tired of reading them!

It’s all about timing. Give yourself the break you need, maybe a new story will come to inspire you even more than the current one ever did. 🫶🏼

Comparison is your worst enemy. Don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ve had years where I didn’t write because of life in general. But I’m also not someone who consistently writes. I think what could help is shifting your reason for writing. For me it has always been about getting those stories from my

Writing gives me the greatest joy in the world and the greatest despair I’ve ever felt. I’ve definitely went through months of not being able to write a single word. So yes, you can love writing and not being able to write at the same time. If you feel burned out, take a break, do something fun!

Friday is an excellent day for herbs! Comfrey, Stonewort, Bitterleaf -- all so very useful, so important! Question is: Why is that patient so amused by all that? #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
The crazy patient fell back into cackling, and Kraghtol suspected that the conversation was over, when suddenly, the wrinkly face became rather serious again.
“You do seem to know a lot about herbs and plants, do you not? Woundwort, Comfrey, Frostmint and Bitterleaf. A fine selection for a healer, and a solid base for an apothecary. What else do you know?”
“I… know a few more helpful plants, if that’s what you mean. Like Mossfern against fever, or Stonewort if your stomach is in turmoil.”

G'morning #WIPSnips! A rather serious prompt we have today, and I have a serious snip from Cavern Clipper to go with it! 🃏 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
“What do you mean?” Sam asked after the silence lengthened for a few seconds.
“You see, some of those people end up acting erratically, with an even smaller segment of those becoming violent when the new reality sets in. They all know this, you see. They all had to come to terms with the same facts, and they know, deep down, how they could have reacted. How they imagined themselves losing control. The vast majority of people adapt sufficiently, however, which I appreciate immensely.”
Edgar looked around at the crowd of worried faces glancing towards Sam as they walked on towards the tall white spire that dominated the local skyline.
“They are right to worry, really. A few people, how do I put this delicately, devolved mentally to a seriously violent state. People have been critically wounded or even murdered by these outbursts. Incidents like these have been becoming more and more frequent too, which is why the Registratum is so adamant on locating new arrivals themselves, and why individuals like miss Alice are prohibited from taking them into their homes even if they provide excellent care to the new arrivals,” the robot explained.
“So you’re saying that a small amount of people go bloodthirsty-banana-brain when they find out Heaven isn’t real and start cutting people because of it?”
