For the love of Artemis

As a writer, the internet has always been my safe space, where I found love and support ever since I began to post my stories, that weren't so good at the beginning. I've learnt through the years that people online are more accepting yet also more honest about your stories. Nobody really knows you, so they don't bite their tongues when you make a mistake. Criticism is good when you're aiming to improve yourself in any aspects of life.

I began to posts my stories around 2010 in facebook pages, which I later deleted solely because I had progressed so much in matters of writing that I didn't want to be linked with those works. That was when I moved to wattpad, which gave me a decent ammount of readers I am thankful for. There was no judgment for whichever I felt like writing, and that's why I stayed there since 2012.

No matter how much I say I won't write another wattpad story, I find myself doing so before even finishing the one I'm writing. The problem comes when I find myself stuggling to let go and give a proper ending to my most sucessful story, perhaps in fear of losing those readers, or nostalgia, because I got to love that story. The closer I get to that final chapter, the more I delay writing for it.

It's time to go and to learn to let go.

I beg my greek gods to inspire me to write something entirely different than what I have been writing for almost ten years now, still, one of them was the muse that led me to write another tragic love story.

Gods are real, they walk among us, and I say it in the least religious way I can find.

Now, for the love of Artemis, I hope I can finally end that story and leave it behind, so I can have more time for my other stories and personal projects. I look forward to write another mystic story, where poetry has the leading role. I'll keep praying to my gods, while speaking this words to the universe in hopes of them returning as inspiration and perhaps a new muse.

Welcome to steemit, and im curious why you named this for the love of artemis after the greek god of the hunt?

Thank you! It's because I use a lot of greek mythology in my stories, and Artemis usually represents me. My last muse was Aphrodite, now I'm tilting towards Artemis to write something more personal.

As long as you write an ending using all the love and effort you put into the rest of the story, you can't go wrong. At least that's my two cents.
