I gave up. Completely. Deleted everything, told myself this wasn't for me. I wasn't a writer, would never be one either. I'm almost finished with my debut novella and plan to publish in April this year (2019), with four other works in my queue for the next two years. I would never dream of making this kind of progress on my own. But through the guidance and community of the Once Written Legion, I found my confidence, my voice, and the drive to pursue my passions. Now I'm actively writing everyday and working on a goal that was once a far off dream.
I spent years not being able to write anything, and when I finally found the inspiration again I needed to be kept accountable. Once Written was a group that pushed me to keep writing, dealt with my bouts of doubt, and helped me figure out how writing would work best from me. They're a bunch of weirdos and sometimes make me want to poke them with a stick, but I doubt I would have finished 3 first drafts and one rewrite in the span of a year without them.
