I don't do as much writing as I'd like because I have a cat that doesn't understand personal space, but knows how to open doors I close to keep him out. 🫠

Recently, I was given a chance to spill some of my thoughts on publishing when you write what you love and not to market.
A big thank you for Vania for giving me the space to talk about this!

I created my first Substack post today. I like the idea of having long and short formats in one place, but we will see what it feels like community wise!

I finished my rewrite. I felt really good about it for thirty seconds and now I'm like "there's no way I can publish this". 😂

I'm editing, sure, but all I'm thinking about is "how am I gonna market this thing?"

The more I write the harder it is to feel like I'm getting it right.

On Sundays I spend a good portion of my night wishing I could write for a living instead of dealing with my day job.

Going back over the finer details of my novel and loving the little things I can add to round the chapters out. I'm only on chapter two of thirty, but when I see the improvement, I'm so proud.

I have one chapter left to rewrite and then I think it's just cleaning up the last ones. Can't wait to be done draft two!!

I don't know how to market my books for one simple reason. I don't know who my readers are. I wrote my novels for me, to get them outta my head, and while I wouldn't change them, it leaves them kind of stuck. Maybe after the WIP, I'll try writing to market? 😬

Sometimes I write love stories, but most of the time I write about family, friends, and music.

Rewriting this novel is much harder than writing it. I'm so protective over this plot and characters and I'm stressing that it's not doing the story justice. 😢
