What writing has taught me this week:

1. You donโ€™t need inspiration to write. Starting often builds momentum.
2. The middle of a project is where confidence dips, but itโ€™s also where the real work begins.
3. Deleting a weak paragraph still counts as progress.

It was a rogue life choiceโ€ฆ but the milk hadnโ€™t arrived yet and I couldnโ€™t face black coffee as my wake-up call ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

It might be nonsense, it might be genius. Time (and a latte) will tell โ˜•๏ธ though Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™m ready to deprive myself of caffeine for brilliance ๐Ÿฅฒ

Two chapters written before work and feeling productive. After coffee, Iโ€™ll probably reread it and question every life choice I made... but hey, Iโ€™ll enjoy this delusion while it lasts. #5amwritersclub

Itโ€™s only been 22 hours since this was posted and Iโ€™ve already finished the first book. Book two has just landed on my doorstep (thank you Amazon Prime ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ)

Pretty sure Feyre and Tamlin are about to completely hijack my writing time ๐Ÿซฃ #fantasy #books

Writing is stitching chaos into coherence, one sentence at a time.

Iโ€™ve always stuck to thrillers and mysteries, never thinking fantasy was for me.

But here I am, halfway through ACOTAR, my feed flooded with fantasy reviews, and my Amazon cart loaded with the rest of the series.

Sarah J. Maas has proven me wrong ๐Ÿ‰โœจ

I'm intrigued! I'd love to have a copy, although my reading list is currently overflowing. When do you need feedback by? ๐Ÿ˜Š

On a separate note, the cover art is fantastic! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“˜

I'm looking to kick off my day by connecting with fellow writers โœ๐Ÿผ

If you're working on something - a book, poem, or messy first draft - Iโ€™d love to learn more about it.

Letโ€™s read each otherโ€™s work, share encouragement, and build something real.

It took me a bit to get into it, but now I've hit that halfway mark, I can't put it down! Iโ€™ve heard this oneโ€™s the slowest, so that if Iโ€™m loving it now, the others should be my cup of tea โ˜•

Thankfully not! Although some pretty questionable things did come out during washingโ€ฆ I had to block it out ๐Ÿ˜…

That must be such an amazing feeling - seeing your work out in the world and starting to gain traction.

Congrats on both publishing and earning those first royalties! Hereโ€™s to many more ๐Ÿฅ‚

Some days Iโ€™m certain my current WIP is the right debut. Other days, new ideas feel more exciting. I think thatโ€™s what happens when youโ€™ve lived inside one story for too long. It feels old to me, but I keep reminding myself it will be brand new to future readers.
