Sharing your writing is one of the most important — and scariest — parts of being a writer. Putting your work out there can feel vulnerable, but it’s also the only way to grow. So far, I’ve been sharing my stories on my little website, and now I’m starting to reach out more. I haven’t been published yet, and that’s okay. I’m learning as I go, and I believe that one day, one of my short stories will find its way into the world. I’m also planning to try open mic storytelling soon — I had to skip it last time, but I’m hoping to make it work next time around.
What’s coming up on the website? The PDF version of The Things That I Have Kept From You will be available sometime this week. Not long after that, I’ll be releasing the first chapter of Until You Fall Asleep. In the meantime, I’m working on a brand-new short story that I hope to share soon after. I’m trying to stay busy and keep improving my craft.
Lots of love,
Martijn
