Monday Motivations; The Most Powerful Motivator in the World
Hello friends and welcome to another pertinacious week of writing. Last week I talked about the concept of bullrushing one’s way through a creative blockage. Smashing your face against the brick wall of an abandoned muse until something gives (hopefully not your face) and you can finally move forward again. Friends, I’m about to start… Continue reading

Foolishness
Hello friends and welcome to another foolhardy edition of Just Another Struggling Writer. I’m just another struggling writer. Friends, do you remember a while back when I talked about Type A personalities, people who have to always be on the go, doing something, never not working and how I have come to accept that I… Continue reading

Monday Motivations; Inertia
Hello friends and welcome to another wanton week of writing. I used to love Mondays. Strange, I know. But, to me, they always represented a new beginning. A new chance to do something great. The start of a new chain, a new streak. A new door to walk through if I had but the courage… Continue reading

The Chain
Hello friends and welcome to another less-than-ideal edition of Just Another Struggling Writer. I’m just another struggling writer. Friends, I don’t know if you have noticed, but I am not a perfect writer. Brave of me to reveal this publicly, I know, but I must speak my truth as I live it. Yes, its true,… Continue reading

My longstanding anxiety and depression has more often than not driven me to find comfort in old, familiar habits, even the ones that are terrible for my long term well being. Last… Continue reading

Monday Motivations; Just Keep Swimming
Hello friends. Last week was another exceedingly busy one at my day job and this one is looking only marginally better. I don’t like to talk about my work too much, mostly because there’s an element of privacy involved and because, though my specific job is administrative and desk bound, the industry in which I… Continue reading

Monday Motivations; Never Not Working
Hello friends! I’ve been absent these last two weeks thanks first to being absolutely slammed at my day job, and second to a planned and much needed vacation. The fall and winter seasons always tend to be the busiest for me both at work and in writing, so a break from both was just the… Continue reading

Writing with a Day Job
Manuscript News It took me a while to really get back on the wagon with writing. Even though I promised myself I would start up again on January 2nd, I didn’t actually get any words down until the 5th. Without the enthusiasm of a fresh start or the punishing schedule of NaNo to have to… 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.
