My new WIP Storybooks of Bramble Bear have got to be the most emotional stories I’ve ever written to me. Does anyone else cry at their own writing or am I just a bit sensitive? 😅😭

Did I finish two illustrated storybooks and start working on a third?

Yes. Yes I did.

While waiting on agents to get back to me over my first project (The Chestermead Railway Stories), I started writing another (Bramble Bear in Whistlewood).

I create too much work for myself. 😭

Does anyone else get a little anxiety over their writing? This internal voice of “Is it actually good? Do I deserve to be published?”

I hate that internal voice. Someone come ground me. 😭

Inspired by my old Health and Safety briefing on railways. “Stay off tuh’ tracks, ducks!” - Geoff Walker (2024)

My art isn’t that bad - just clunky 🤣 It’s fine 🥲

I don’t expect this to be finals so it’s all good 😁

Seeking representation as a writer is one of the hardest things. Not because you’re trying to sell yourself as a writer and get rejected, but the limbo between submission and answer is frighteningly quiet.

I hate it.
