I've had some good writing groups in the past, but post COVID we've all seemed to dissolve... We were of different ages and in different stages of life, so some stopped writing (or paused at least). I'd like to find a new group to keep me motivated.

The story usually keeps me coming back for writing. I would say most Indie Authors start a story because they feel passionate about the story they want to tell.
I try to make sure that I spend at least an hour writing each day out of habit. I don't wait for inspiration to find me, I go and hunt it!

Day 21 Writer Advice-If you are indie publishing write for you! Write the story you want to tell because someone out there needs it. Be purely you.

Putting an end to misconceptions of the Miss-Fortunate Adventures and my future writing.
Shattered Peace has 0 spice! The romance is hardly there until the end. High-stakes battles, found family, and shenanigans. That is what you will find in the pages of the beginning to this epic saga.

Day 18, power hungry character in WIP.

Day 18, power hungry character in WIP.

Well, the villain, of course. Unfortunately, his motivations remain a bit of a mystery since I haven’t figured out how to cram them in his single POV chapter. I’m contemplating removing it altogether tho because it’s only there to explain how he gathers info. #fantasyindiesseptember #writesky

Most of the time it is the villain. Motivations for villains are fun to know though.
