I Need Some (Writer’s) Love & A Lift
Growth and goals
Let me preface this piece by saying that I know I’m not the best writer in the world. I have room to grow — but I LOVE to learn and I’m community focused.
I am SO excited, elated and motivated to take my writing to the next level.
I try to read all the tips and updates in Illumination and Medium at large.
I try my best to support as many writers as possible, clap, tweet, retweet and repeat, but I’ve noticed my views and readership have almost ground to a halt.
Please don’t get me wrong — I KNOW that I’m extremely fortunate to be published in my first few weeks of returning to writing. I consider myself BLESSED and even wrote about it (shameless plug).
I’m (trying to be) realistic and manage my expectations — but writing has become a mental and monetary necessity and when I see the massive success of this publication and other writers, I can’t help but get a little excited. I’m like a kid on Christmas morning finding tons of gifts under the tree, but can’t seem to find the ones for me — but I hope and pray I’ll get mine — eventually.
So -as a person of faith, I’m going to speak things into existence and manifest my growing success! After all, the old saying is true: A closed mouth doesn’t get fed and we have to ask for what you want so…
I want some love, support and feedback on my work.
Here is my intro:
And two of my favorite poems that describe how I’ve been feeling
My goal is to average a minimum of 100 views per piece and to have at least 500 followers by May 15th and 3 pieces curated per month. I think these are realistic goals if I continue to work hard, publish quality pieces and promote and market my work and others.
I look forward to hearing from you — you can reach me on Twitter, send me a note or response.
Thank you!
