Writing Inspiration: 'The pleasure of each word I write is returned to me multiplied.' Sometimes objects placed together are greater than the sum of their parts. A molecule of hydrogen and two molecules of oxygen are wonderful on their own, but combined they result in water, which opens...

a dirt road in the woods during a rainstorm ALT: a dirt road in the woods during a rainstorm

I’ve watched you cry and watched you laugh
I’ve watched you hone your craft
I’ve watched you fall short, I’ve watched you thrive
I’ve watched you grow for half my life
I’ve watched you change into your own
I’ve tried to explain us, in this poem #Writer

#Brownies take me back in time
Nostalgia in sharing dessert on the side
Family dinners from the past
Felling that time goes by too fast
Growing up to become the host
Legacy dinners matter the most

You are #angel set from above
No one can deny our love
Days spent laughing together
No one predicted the storm we’d whether
Hospitals, bloodwork, taking meds
Hoping for a baby since we wed
Will this year be better than last
Wait for the storm to pass

Living life with sober eyes,
Changes more than you realize.
Heading outback searching the night skies,
Charting constellations with naked eyes.
Mornings with coffee and a sky so blue,
Don’t take for granted a life you almost never knew.

Hey!

Do you consistently write every day, or do you have big ‘writing days’?

#askanauthor

@marina-gabriela.bsky.social #askanauthor

Do you have a set process for editing your manuscript?

How do you take a first draft and improve it as much a possible?

I’m working on improving how I do this and thought I’d ask around😊
