Monday Motivations; The King of Swords
Good morning and welcome to another wonderful week of writing. Well. At least I’m hoping it will be wonderful. Last week was a reminder from the universe not to get too cocky, as I was slapped down hard from my pedestal on Tuesday when my purse was stolen right out of the front seat of… Continue reading

A Year in Review and a Look Ahead
Admittedly, I have a horrible track record with resolutions but as long as they’re pushing me to achieve more than I did before, then they’re still serving a purpose, right? Continue reading

Monday Motivations; The Chariot
It’s 2022, and guess what? I’M BACK BABY! After I turned in my last manuscript of the year in early November (and struggling mightily to get creative momentum for NaNo or, well, literally anything else) I decided it was in my best interest to take a bit of a hiatus to recharge my batteries.

Chekhov’s Gun, My Personal Arch- Nemesis
Hello friends and welcome to another fun filled edition of Just Another Struggling Writer. I’m just another struggling writer. A few weeks ago I was thinking about why I have the tendency to write really thin, why my descriptions are always lacking, and why I struggle so much with world building. I made a comment… Continue reading

Monday Motivations; I’m Not Special

I am back after a long week during which the perfect storm of stressful life events and a deadline conspired to keep me from meaningfully blogging, or even thinking about anything extraneous. While last week may be an outlier in terms of demand on my time and attention, it got me thinking… Continue reading

Monday Motivations; A Day Late and a Dollar Short
Good morning friends and welcome to another exciting week of writing. Yesterday was an off day for me. From start to finish I just didn’t feel like myself. Mondays, weirdly enough, is usually when I’m at my most motivated (hence this blog series) and freshest, and I usually feel ready to attack the week. Not… Continue reading
About Me
Kerry Share’s love for writing started, as it so often does, as a love of reading at an early age. At age 11 she wrote her first short story, a Harry Potter knockoff of dubious quality, and her love for creative expression was born. Throughout her teen years she continued to foster that passion through derivative work, and at 23 she turned her eye to original fiction.
Now in her thirties, having taken a break from creative endeavors to cope with an ever changing life and landscape, she is determined to make her dream of a writing career reality.
