I keep saying this, but I can't believe where I am finally at in my first draft. I never thought I'd get here in my story. I'm almost to the freaking climax. I can't believe it! #writing #writersky #authorsky #booksky

I only detail outline my chapters when I'm stuck or intimidated by the scene. And I'm realizing, I'm not a big fan of outlining in detail because it makes me think I've already penned in details when I haven't 😆 it's kind of annoying #writersky #author #booksky #writing

I hit over 40,000 words today in my first draft. 🥹🥹🥹 #writersky #writing #author #booksky

I just watched a bumblebee use my garden as a buffet and it was the cutest shit I'd ever seen 🐝 🥹 #gardening

Curious, how far ahead do you outline your story? And I don't mean vague chapter arcs, I mean the step-by-step things that happen? Sometimes I don't even need to detail plot things, but usually I don't go for more than a scene at a time. #writersky #writing #author #booksky

I am SO GRATEFUL I started reading again. I stopped for like 5 years and I think I genuinely forgot a part of myself when doing so. #reading #booksky

I love Saturday nights cause it's the only day I am able to stay up reading as late as I want. #booksky #reading

My loans drop off this fall and one thing I am really looking forward to is grocery shopping the way I would like to. As in, always having lemons on hand instead of waiting a week or two after they run out to get another bag so I don't spend as much money. It's the little things. 🍋

Reading through my little book of Greek myths (research for my upcoming trilogy) Just finished the Pan and Syrinx story. It's so sad and I just love Pan now. #reading #booksky #greekymythology #writing

200 words away from hitting 40,000 in my first draft 🥳 And with where I'm at my story, I feel like my book is going to be the perfect size! I was worried it was going to be huge #writersky #writing #booksky #author #greekmythology

Holy shit, I just emptied a pen of its ink. 😂 I started hand writing my first draft (not even that long ago). I don't think I've ever used up ink that fast before. #writersky #writing #authorsky

I love reading a book after I've already watched the movie adaptation. I get used to the movie so it makes me almost pay more attention to the book to see all the differences. Currently reading "Stranger with My Face" by Lois Duncan #booksky #reading #horror

I really, really love my story and I can't wait for people to read my book one day. Just needed to say that 🪐 #writersky #author #booksky

Oh no, I'm starting to see one of the characters in my book as Robert Pattinson I really didn't plan it that way but, he fits so well 😂 #writersky #author #booksky

The yellow post-its are all the major plot points needing to be written for my 1st novel 🥹 I can't believe this is all I've got left I am TOTALLY going to finish this first draft this year 🪐 #writersky #booksky #author

I love doing research for my book. Currently reading about Daedalus' Labyrinth and it's so dark. #writersky #writingabook #booksky #greekmythology

I'm so excited! I've finally found a second hand little boombox CD player! Trying to stay off my phone and since my phone is where all my music is, I'm going back to cds. Kind miss having a binder of cds anyways! #music #physicalmedia #musicsky

Crossed over 37,000 words today. I know I'm gonna finish that first draft this year 🪐 #writersky #booksky #author

Just realized I need to make sure my retrospective narration is super solidified and I've been kinda wishy washy about doing that... Gonna be one fun first edit 😆 #writersky #author #booksky

I love when I make it through a plot point in my first draft. The scene always seems intimidating, but then I get to it and suddenly I'm past it. Writing this book has been the strangest experience #writersky #booksky #authorsky

23 Chapters written for my first draft so far Fuckin wild #writersky #author #booksky

Took my first "go somewhere and write on purpose" outing and went to my library. 'Twas a success and I look forward to going again 🪐 #writersky #author #booksky

Going to the library tomorrow to SPECIFICALLY write my book. I haven't done this before. I'm excited. Just got done plotting out what I plan to write 🪐 #writersky #author #booksky

Not me getting emotional thinking about a plot point for my second book when I'm still working on my first book 😭 #writersky #author #booksky

Researching what foods were most common in ancient Greece for my urban fantasy based on Greek mythology ...it's making me so hungry Ancient foods sound incredible 🍯 #writersky #author #booksky

I love nailing down little details. I have a dinner scene to write & I needed to settle on what particular #Greekmythology beings would be in attendance As usual, doing research in between writing states improved my plot. 20 immortals + my two MCs Gonna be a blast to write #writersky #authorsky

I will be forever grateful that I started regularly #reading again two years ago. 📚 Had a 4 year slump and I didn't realize how badly I needed it back in my life (I've been doing two books simultaneously too, which is something I thought myself incapable of 😁) #booksky

Describe my WIP in one sentence? A primordial Greek goddess is fed up with humanity's bullshit 🪐 #writing #booksky

I've been rewatching Breaking Bad. I'm in season 5 now I will NEVER comprehend the hatred society had for Skylar. Walt is INSUFFERABLE

Typed in my pages and it put me over 36,000 words I also finished the notebook Very slow but steady 🪐 #writersky #authorsky #writing
