How to get back into it??

A few months ago a friend of mine insulted my writing. Ever since then I haven't written a single story, or continued the book I was planning to finish a few months ago. My family members try to help, but I just don't feel it anymore... How can I get back to it???

Hi Sara,

This might not be the response you were expecting, but have you considered writing a story about the experience of receiving criticism from your friend? You could explore her motivations for criticising your writing, for example. Just a thought!

Best wishes,

Fliss
