Recently, I was given a chance to spill some of my thoughts on publishing when you write what you love and not to market.

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". 😂

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 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. 😢
