This is how I get my url link. I make sure I am “following” myself and am getting “instant email notifications.” That way, when I create and publish a post I am emailed the notification. On the email at the very bottom is the url. For me it looks something like this:
http://pricelessjoy.co/2015/04/07/whatever-i-name-my-post/ That way, I can either copy it down or “copy” it and use it to give my url link.
If you don’t know how to follow yourself, go to one of the emails you received when you followed someone and on it is the link to your subscriptions. Go into that link. At the very top, you want to put your WordPress name: ie., http://pricelessjoy.co and then click the follow button at the end.

I’m sure many writers experience this. Guess I’m not a writer yet because I haven’t experienced inspiration waking me up in the middle of the night to write. 😀

Of course you’re a writer! Inspiration flashes can be subconscious too… In my case, I had been thinking of your prompt and got an idea starting, then I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and wrote this silly tale and it came out ok. Inspiration comes in many forms… You’re A Writer! 🙂 🙂 🙂

It’s All baby steps with writing… it takes time to learn formatting, editing, polishing and even then sometimes it doesn’t fit well… I don’t think us writers (you included in there PJ!) can ever stop trying to master our writing…And the dreaded ‘writer’s block’ is a pain in the backside. Your writing evolves and it’s a fun process to see it unfolding… My writing style(s) now are different to before my depression hit, why, I have no idea, but it did. Don’t sell yourself short PJ…. We are all constantly learning the writing craft 🙂 🙂 🙂
