She Who Writes

Sooo I’ve started a Substack and I honestly think that’s the better platform for growing through my writing journey…I might do away with Medium 🤔 #bvm

Sooo I’m glad I’ve given myself a month to work on building out the world and key plot elements because this is HARD. This notebook has been filling up fast…I might need 2 months cuz it just keeps going 😅

Yep!

Thanks! I appreciate it 🙏

Probably a mix of both…I came up with a pretty big idea, now I’m plotting it out to see if it actually makes sense lol so far, I have a good amount of anticipated character-driven adventure and the story really hinges on various character arcs as well. TBH, I’m flying too close to the sun right now😅

Fantasy! I feel like there’s more freedom for me in that genre. It’s going to be a journey, that’s for sure lol

Shower ideas are the best because I JUST came up with the plot for my book and an entire universe…wow. I just have to write it now 😝

I’ve recently started documenting my journey as I write my first book…wish me luck! 🥹 #bvm

5) I can’t focus on engagement (I do social media for a living, so that will be a challenge), I just have to post.
6) I have to treat everything I post as a digital diary.
7) Have a draft done by Nov/Dec 2026. I’m aiming for 100,000-175,000 words. Again, it’s ambitious but I’m going to try 😅

3) I need to have at least 20 quality pieces posted by May or June.
4) I bought an executive planner to plan out the deadlines I set for myself. They may be ambitious, but I’m going to try my hardest to follow it and actually stick to it.

Basically, here are the rules I made for myself:
1) I have to post quality long form content (at least 20) to Medium. I have also added Substack because I might share something different there…who knows.
2) I MUST not care about the number of viewers I get. This process is for me.

I want to write more to justify getting a Freewrite I’m going to write a book. I just need to actually write the book.

I’m terrified, but I have started taking writing seriously this year and I want to write a book…I also want a Freewrite. To hold myself accountable and make myself worthy of one, I have to post my journey so that even if one person sees, that means I have to keep going.

This has been cracking me up since Saturday, and I don’t know where else to put this.
