Based on a True Story by Amanda R DeWitt logo

07.21.2020

21. Hi bloglovin’ friends

This is a post to the friends who followed me on my old blogs via bloglovin.’ Likely you followed me for Diary of a Semi-Health Nut or possibly the Pink Toast blog. I decided that since I hadn’t written on either of those spaces for years that I might as well transfer those readers to this blog.

New Blog Alert.

If this is your first time reading, this is my new blog! One where I practice writing fiction. What better time to work towards writing a book than during a pandemic? Nevermind the fact that I’m a teacher and will be going back to school soon…it will be fine. Everything is fine.

You can read more of the backstory here and catch up on story #1 here. To better understand the thought process behind the story, you might have to start reading from post #1 (which is conveniently labeled as 1) and work your way up from there.

The point here isn’t to write perfectly polished stories on this blog, but to develop the practice of writing.

If you want to read along, I’d love your feedback! I am honestly curious if I could sell my writing. A blog is an easy way to test the waters, if that makes sense.

There will be no hard feelings if you decide to unfollow this blog if it isn’t for you. I know it’s very different from my other ones. I hope you read a post or two first, though. 🙂

Now I’m curious…which of my blogs did you used to follow, or are you a newbie to the Amanda R DeWitt blogging thing?

About Amanda R. DeWitt

I'm a teacher, cat mom, wife to a bearded gentleman, and coffee junkie. I've always secretly wanted to be an author (or not so secretly--I've started 8 other blogs). This is my space to practice. It's not all great. It doesn't all make sense. But I'm doing it anyways. I'm happy you're here. :)
