Reasons I DNF This Book: Of Blood and Fire
Hello everyone. For today’s Fiction Friday I am reviving an old review series in honor of those books I tried but just couldn’t power through. Since I am only reviewing books I finish over on the podcast, and since I feel like I have things to say about this particular title, I thought I’d bring… Continue reading

WIP Wednesday; The Eff It Stage
Hello friends and welcome back to your regularly scheduled edition of WIP Wednesday, where I vent my spleen about my current writing project. And currently I am, to put it colorfully, fucking miserable. More specifically, I’m feeling really creatively frustrated. I’m caught between the knowledge that if I start drafting before I’ve satisfied my worldbuilding… Continue reading

Drabble Rock; April 11
heat The heat in the tavern was unbearable, even though out of doors it was cool with the hint of rain on the breeze. Adelaine almost wished she could abandon her performance in favor of a stroll through the village, if for no other reason than to cool the sweat dripping down her back, but… Continue reading

Trope-Day; Dragon Knight
It’s Tuesday again, friends, which means it’s Trope-Day here on Just Another Struggling Writer. Tropes, in my view, are the building blocks of all stories, and while some are abused more than others, every single trope can be reinvented or reimagined into something fresh and exciting. It’s all in how you write! This week we’ve… Continue reading

Monday Motivations; Writing is Exercising
Hello everyone and welcome to another wobbly week of writing. Friends, I’ll be honest. I’m having a hard time thinking about writing today. Which feels weird, because normally it’s the primary subject in my brain, but for some reason… I’m just not feeling it today. In fact, just typing up this blog post feels like… Continue reading

Abandoning Self-Rejection and Taking Up Gardening Instead
Hello friends and welcome to another inner-edited edition of Just Another Struggling Writer. I’m just another struggling writer. One of my most annoying traits as a writer is that I do my best brainstorming when I’m lying in bed trying to go to sleep. Due to my insomnia I am very aware of not looking… Continue reading

WIP Wednesday; Running a Marathon When You Want to Sprint
Hello friends and welcome back to the corner of the internet where I cry about my current work-in-progress. It’s been kind of an up-and-down week. Despite being completely sure last week that I wasn’t ready to start drafting, on Saturday, in a fit of pique, I accidentally did just that. I told myself I would… Continue reading

Trope-Day: MacGuffin Super-Person
Happy Trope-Day everyone! I had a lot of fun with last week’s featured trope, Evil Sounds Raspy. It was a good reminder that tropes aren’t these horrible things to avoid in your writing, they should be embraced, subverted, inverted, played straight, and lampshaded. Tropes are a part of writing and pretending otherwise is only going… Continue reading

Drabble Rock; April 4, 2023
rumor The Queen Regent’s voice was as spoiled wine. Inviting on the surface, poisonous underneath. Marceline wanted nothing to do with her, but as she turned to avoid the impending – and undoubtedly unpleasant – conversation, she could not help but be caught by the wretched woman’s words as she spoke to the Dowager Duchess… 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.
