Leveling life with writing

I don’t talk much on my progress of my book, but today that’s going to change. I started writing my mafia romance back in February and I have complete roughly 80% of it. It’s exciting to see it almost finished, but there’s no rush.

I work a full time job and only have a couple hours of free time when I get home. I rely solely on those hours and the weekends to write and plan. I made a post yesterday about motivation and there’s a lot of contributing factors in all of this. My personal motivation is to prove to my mom in Heaven that I made it. To prove to myself that I did something that I have always dreamt about. That’s where my balance comes in. Among reading, writing and working, I found that in the moments that time is scarce I flourish more. My thought process is clear and I come up with so many ideas that fill the plot wonderfully. If you are struggling in thinking you are not doing enough, every word counts. If you write for a minute a day that is a minute more to your story. If you write two words down, that is two important words. If you don’t write for weeks to months, that is okay. We all get in a writers block. It’s absolutely normal. You have freedom. Don’t give up.

If you have methods to your time management, please feel free to share. Someone may be in need of them.

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, finding time to write can feel overwhelming. Many aspiring authors struggle to balance work commitments, personal responsibilities, and their passion for storytelling. The good news is that every bit of writing counts, whether it's just a few words or a full chapter. Successful writers often incorporate techniques like setting small, achievable goals or dedicating specific time slots to their writing sessions. Moreover, the community support plays a crucial role. Engaging with writing challenges, forums, or accountability partners can provide motivation and encouragement. Developing a routine encourages consistency, and even short writing sessions can lead to significant progress over time. Embrace the idea that writer's block is a common hurdle, and what's important is to keep showing up for your craft. Remember, your journey as a writer is unique, and it's okay to take breaks when needed. Keep striving and share your experiences with others; your insights may inspire those around you!

Do women get punished for leveling up?
No one really talks about this part. How growing changes the balance. How wanting more can quietly make someone feel smaller. How relationships don’t always end because someone messed up… sometimes they end because one person kept expanding and the other didn’t. And honestly? I still go back
