Writing Update

Another project done and I have one underway. I hope your writing is going well. ✍️

2024/12/9 Edited to

Embarking on a writing journey can be both exciting and challenging. With every project, writers encounter new obstacles and learn valuable lessons along the way. The article mentions 'SMOKING OUT A RAT,' a piece with 14,900 words. For aspiring writers, it's essential to stay motivated and share experiences with peers. Engage with hashtags like #amwriting and #writersoflemon8 to find support and resources. Consider creating a writing schedule, setting achievable goals, and reading extensively in your genre to refine your craft. Connecting with other authors not only boosts your confidence but also provides fresh perspectives and feedback, crucial for growth. Remember, the writing community is vast, and sharing your journey makes it all the more fulfilling. Keep writing, keep improving, and enjoy the process!

So close to being fully drafted. As usual, my characters have gone off script, moved things around, changed plans, and turned what should’ve been a hot and heavy love story into a slow burn. We’ll see what happens in edits once she’s finished #comingsoon #clarissaandthewallflower #characters

Time to really nail down all the scenes I want to write in the last 3/4 of Owen and Lucy’s book. The first 13 chapters are solid, but the rest is all fuzzy in my head and so I really need to focus in on exactly where I’m headed. The “candy bar” scenes refers to something Rachel Aaron talks

Too tired to function, but the desire and drive still pushes strong. As writers, we have to listen to our natural bodies the same way we listen to these pushy characters living rent-free in our heads. Just like some characters take over the plot, sometimes our bodies have to take the pilot seat

Writing update 🫶 my book project ✨

I never thought I’d write an introspective dystopian. I certainly never thought I’d develop a world that allows for a prequel before the main series. Tbh I never thought I’d be a writer, but to stay a scholar forever studying on the sidelines…but here I am loving every second of it! 💕 #introspe
