Okay I’ve been MIA for a good year because ✨life✨ and due to certain circumstances, I am looking to self publish and quickly. So out of desperation to not get stalled on hours of internet research, what does one need in terms of creating a digital book cover 😬 (please don’t try and sell me anything)

Ok ok ok I think I’ve finished the first draft of my second book (internal screaming) Obvs I’ll noodle around with it and change it a lot But stage one is ✨done✨ and I can’t quite believe I’ve managed to do this for a second time?! #writingcommunity

Ok, it’s not writing related, but I just had to share because I grew a plant from seed (ah!) and it’s grown so big (ah!) and my gnome is now surrounded by pink flowers and I think it’s the cutest

Had some feedback that nearly made me cry. They said I had a distinct & lovely voice, and beautiful prose 😭 Sorry? Me? Also, the MS made them giggle. I fear I’m about to become unbearable 🙂‍↕️ *internal screaming*

I’m 56000 words in and I just had an idea that changes ✨everything✨ soooo I’m gunna just close my laptop and stare out of the window for a little while whilst I contemplate why I decided to start writing books 🙂

I just found out Andrea Gibson passed away and suddenly the world feels a little less bright ‘Just to be clear I don’t want to get out without a broken heart. I intend to leave this life so shattered there’s gonna have to be a thousand separate heavens for all of my flying parts.’ – Andrea Gibson

Me: come on, it's not like the professionals are even noticing us Also me: ...urgh fi- Me: *pulls out microphone* word count is so important! This 🌶️ romcom is at 90k but let's take a closer look at the word count that really matters! #UnhingedPit #A #R #Q (tw: bad words ahead)
