Welcome

Hello, my fellow awkward poets and anxious novelist,

Hi, I'm Alicia, an aspiring writer armed with a degree in creative writing and a tendency for my heart to stop anytime anyone asks to read my work. Welcome to my blog.

I hope you find some entertainment in my DIY exposure therapy sessions, where I will talk through my experiences, my failures (the many, many failures), and hopefully eventual successes. One of which I hope will be this blog, as this is something I have been planning to start at the beginning of this year but kept talking myself out of it.

But here we are finally, ready to discuss writerly things such as tips, tricks, reviews, and even my work. If I can stomach the idea of people reading it, that is.

I would like to warn you though, if you are looking for writing advice specifically, I am not sure I will be your best source. As someone who has yet to have anything published through anything but their own projects, I don’t feel like I am in a position of expertise to give any.

Everything I will share on here will be personal experience and things that worked for me. Mainly, I want this blog to be a way to commiserate together for the things that didn’t go the way they were planned and celebrate the things that do. My aim is to create a community of writers who will hopefully learn from each other.

Hope to see you here soon. The Overly Anxious Writer
