I tend to write about being a late bloomer after loss (both of a mom, and a caregiving role). I’m learning to live again and just wrote an essay called “Today, I Turn One.” about my first year without my mom.
I’m wanting to write more inwardly in 2024, but fell further away from it because I was afraid of coming across as too “dear diary.”
But I wanna see what I can do! Next will be an essay about hair and autonomy over it, after that may be more lax in my writing style but hopefully still helpful to others!
thanks for sharing your work, Cierra! I shared this list above in the thread, but here's some inspiration on writers who have balanced food for thought introspection & "dear diary" :)
Hi, Cissy!
I tend to write about being a late bloomer after loss (both of a mom, and a caregiving role). I’m learning to live again and just wrote an essay called “Today, I Turn One.” about my first year without my mom.
I’m wanting to write more inwardly in 2024, but fell further away from it because I was afraid of coming across as too “dear diary.”
But I wanna see what I can do! Next will be an essay about hair and autonomy over it, after that may be more lax in my writing style but hopefully still helpful to others!
