When the last of the raindrops smothered the wailing earth that day, she thought everything had been lost. No, not in a bad way. In fact, she was content. There was no better day to celebrate—yes, she decided to celebrate it rather than grieving over it—her loss than today. After all, she had come all this way and lost too many things to even count with her mind. . ✨ Read more on my blog ✨ Link in bio . #alicialidwina_ #alicialidwina #wordpress #blog #blogpost #shortstory #writerslife #writersofinstagram #igwriters

"Oh, you write books? You must really have a lot of free time." . When a friend of mine assumed that I have a lot of free time because I write books, my first reaction was to pause for some good 2 seconds. I reckon she would not be interested in how I write until 2AM in the morning just to get that next chapter done, nor would she be interested in my excessive caffeine intake just to keep me awake and do more work. She doesn't understand, nor does she want to understand. . Sometimes, I wonder how do those people picture us writers at work. Staying at home in our pajamas, drinking hot chocolate and nibbling on some granola bars while typing away at our computer? Or just lounging around the nearest cafe and just magically convert caffeine to words? You know what, the more I try to imagine how they perceive this writing business, it gets more and more comical. . I mean, to be honest, I'd love that kind of lifestyle! Who doesn't want to just lounge about and have multiple bestsellers on the shelves? . Sadly, most writers don't have that kind of privilege. . Writing is actually very challenging. And since most writers don't earn enough to feed them, more often than not they would also be working a full time job during the day. Just like everyone else, we get up early, go to office/school/etc., and work. It isn't as exciting as you might think, since this is basically just what almost everyone else is doing. Just because we call ourselves a writer doesn't mean we don't have other responsibilities. . And how do we find the time to produce novels/poems/short stories? By sacrificing our weekends. Or the precious hours we're supposed to rest. Or, you know, by declining every social invitation we receive, and just stay at home to finish that next chapter instead. How else can we find this "free time" to write? . In 📷: My writer's notebook, after a quick plotting session during lunch break.
