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.
When I stumbled into this group, I had a basic idea of a story to publish and some motivation to keep at it, but I never would have dreamed of coming as far as I have. In a matter of weeks, thanks to the support and people in this group, I published my first novella. Since then, I have been featured in a newspaper. I am participating in a multi-author box set with best sellers. A bookish box will center around one of my books for Fantasy February, and so much more. Yes, I could have gotten where I am on my own, but I doubt it would have happened as quickly, and I know it wouldn't nearly have been quite as fun.
