the cool thing about being a discovery writer is that it can take you 80k words to feel like you really know your own story and oh wait this is also a frustrating thing too

the balance between exercise and writing is often a daily struggle for me, and I usually get annoyed with myself when I pick jogging. Do I plot in my head while I run? Yes. But still the guilt
I wrote 1212 words today. Not doing nano while lowkey doing nano has been pretty productive so far. Mind games undefeated
nanowrimo in spirit but not in wordcount goal 🕯️✨✍🏻
I know from experience I have to be gentle with myself this time of year. And also I’m not willing to stop reading for a month (which is what I’d have to do to hit a 50k goal) #writingcommunity 💙📚
today I get to draft a scene that has been in my head for over two years. It’s a huge turning point and also one of the first things I thought of when I originally planned this book. I am so excited! And maybe a little bit intimidated too #writingcommunity
I think it’s cute!
this is the way. mutually agreed upon bullying 😅
I do not condone bullying (obv) but sometimes it is necessary for a writer to bully herself! Girl put down the phone, stop wasting your lunch, and go get 100 words down so you can build momentum and set yourself up for success later! #writingcommunity
Maybe if I nurture my insomnia and tell it I love it I’ll be able to sleep again. Maybe the insomnia just needs a friend
I definitely don't take advantage of all its features, but Scrivener really works for me. I love the option of a split screen layout and the index cards for scenes
some days I am like ok I have no money I should save it and other days I think f@#k it I have no money what's the difference and then I buy three more books and I smile every time I see them on my bookshelf even though I know I shouldn't 💙📚
😅 literally day by day
Me yesterday: I ought to cut back on caffeine.
Me today: drinks exactly the same amount I usually drink, but ~slowly~
September writing wins (bc I’m guilty of putting too much on my to do list and chronically feeling like a failure):
-passed 50k on my WIP
-practiced writing pitches and blurbs/updated my website
-(a third intimidating thing)

that’s such an amazing feeling! So happy for you 🥰❤️
today's a great day to fight off a migraine and an existential crisis! how are we holding up fam? it's almost Friday
one of the antagonists in my gothic witchy fantasy is so subtly manipulative and toxic that he has me screaming and wanting to shake my FMC. But it's a first draft so I can't share it with anyone yet to see if they also have this reaction 😭 #writingcommunity 💙📚
❤️❤️❤️ you are honestly the best person to brainstorm and talk things through with!
optional for an even spookier experience: get minimal sleep the night prior 😭
not me forgetting I turned music on and being terrified to hear faint voices and thinking I'm losing my mind. I'm reading too many spooky stories these days
I’m about to ruin my sleep schedule for The Bewitching no one can stop me
It’s been a good long while since I’ve been this in love with a book. I want to savor to every word, yet I can’t put it down #booksky #writingcommunity
I just want to say, at the beginning of the season my bf had never seen a full episode but now he’s humming the WBRB music in the shower #bb27
truly what it feels like today
happy to report that I’ve already managed to get more writing done today than I did yesterday. Which wasn’t hard, because yesterday I managed a whopping zero words ✨💅🏼 #writingcommunity #booksky
oh no! 🫂 I, 34, strained my neck sleeping the other day

starting a new book this morning because I need something unserious. Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis. Man wakes up as an evil wizard in a castle with everyone afraid of him and no recollection of how he got there. Fingers crossed it’s a chaotic mess ⏰📚💙
It’s always nice to make one of these posts, turn everything off and get to work, and report back that it was a good writing day
just write 100 words
just write 100 words
just write 100 words
^how I trick myself into writing

*adds to TBR* thank you 😊 I haven’t read much romantasy tbh so starting with something older sounds great
