3000 words is easy when you’re a gothic writer. The issue is making sure not all of them are descriptions.

There’s so many well established authors following me and talking to me it makes my heart flutter ☺️ but then I look at my incomplete manuscript and my stomach drops lol just writer things ✨

You wear the fit, the fit doesn’t wear you girl just dress how you’d like and let your confidence take over ✨

It’s about the finesse 💅🏼💅🏼💅🏼 you got it regardless

The block button is your best friend, hand them out like Oprah. They’ll eventually get bored. It’s like a 5yr old with ADHD, they’ll move on once they’re no longer stimulated. Good luck xo

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy “A very Krampus Holiday” by Katee Robert’s buuuuuuut….

I’m finding the Krampus kick very befitting for the winter aura this year. A short read, and a satisfying one at that. 4🥀 out of 5🥀

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

Right up my alley 💕

I read and partake in numerous genres ☺️ I love to have a diverse palette when it comes to storytelling

I just want a lil group where we read and talk about books and share each others writing. I wanna ask “do you wanna see what i’ve been working on?” when the chapter I’ve been working on is 800 words and ends in the middle of an important scene.
