Is there anything better than a laugh with some good friends? ❤️🍷 🧀
Feelin very happy 🎊 I have nearly finished writing my YA fantasy book and will be sending it out to agents and editors next year 🤯 It's the first of a trilogy and has lots of magic, mythical creatures, mysterious lands, evil tyrants and a cheeky romance (because we all love an intense romance and sex scene, don't even pretend) 🤗 #nanowrimo2019 #yaauthor #yafantasyseries #yafantasyauthor #yaromance #authorsofinsta
20k tonight ✨ Your voice. Your story. Deserves to be seen, heard and understood. But we can only do that if we share it with the world. Sometimes that can be too painful and we are not ready to talk about it yet, not ready to tell it because we are still working through it. 🍃 But I feel ready.. And I am motivated and confident now whereas before I lived in constant creative shame and fear of being judged and criticised for opening up. Creative shame is the fucking WORST! 🤦‍♀️ I am proud of myself for reaching 20k even though I am behind the goal of #nanowrimo2019 I don't feel behind, I feel like I'm winning because I'm beating myself. I'm owning who I want to be and forming a solid writing habit to take me there. 🕯️ How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives - Annie Dillard 🏹 #amwriting #nanowrimo
Tonight I reached 15k words of my story for #nanowrimo2019 and I know its not where everyone else is up too and I almost gave up because I kept comparing myself to everyone else. Don't do that 🤦‍♀️ But I pushed through that and just focused on my journey and now I'm here!! I probably won't make the 50k goal but it doesn't matter because I have formed an active habit of writing which is far more important than anything else 🥰 And a huge thank you to @inspiredtowrite for your constant online transparency and inspiration to KEEP GOING! #happywriting #nanowrimo
