Yes. Specifically my first book Forget Me Not. I'd been through a heartbreaking experience earlier in the year which helped me to write the end of Amber's life. Plus, there's a few scenarios throughout the book which actually happened to me in real life.
Yes I read all of them. I have been extremely lucky so far as in I haven't received a bad review yet but in all honesty, I keep being told you're not a true writer until you receive a bad review so I guess when I do get one, I should see it as an accomplishment! ðŸ˜
I've always loved reading books and when I was very little, I loved making up stories to tell others which was what inspired me to write as I wanted to keep them for the future.
Yes. If it gets too much at any point, take yourself off for a walk or listen to a song or do something thst relaxes you for a little while. When you feel ready to get back to your writing, you will feel much better. Sometimes, you just need a small break to deal with the emotions you are feeling.
