Other Writers Feel They Write Better bc of 🍋8?

Since I began posting here about 2-3 months ago, I have noticed I get more ideas for poetry, essay type pieces, kids fiction, YA or NA fiction.

I decided not to worry about the translation I have been working on since Friday and work on something of my own. I wrote out two pages of a totally new genre for me, but I am very excited to see where this takes me!

Has anyone else seen their writing change as a result of posting here?#writersoflemon8 #writersjourney #writers #writingexperience #kidsbooks #YAbooks #NAbooks
