When you added more and more ideas to your first draft, so revising now feels like doing a puzzle blindfolded. #writing #thestruggle #mademelaugh 🥲

Do not wait for inspiration. You don’t need to be inspired, to write a poem. You need to reach down and touch the thing that’s boiling inside of you and make it somehow useful.

Very much enjoying finding #writing memes. Glad to know we’re all going through the same stuff.

Replotted my story’s ending because I was not a happy bunny. Now I can’t sleep because I can’t wait to get up and start rewriting it. #writing #firstbook #revision #editing #sleep

Feedback! I’m finding myself both shaking in my boots and obsessed with opening up feedback notes at the moment. Obv the fear of “what if they hated it and I suck?” 😫 But also the buzz that is “yes, find my flaws so I can fix them faster! Make me better!” #feedback #writing #writingjourney #nerves

After #betareading anonymously for years, I’m now loving being part of writing groups and getting to talk to authors about their books right there and then. It feels like peeking behind a secret, ✨magical✨ door. Unexpected bonus that came with starting to write. #writing #debutnovel #writingfriends

Reverse outline of my first draft = done! Reading some scenes like “wow this is really good” but others “what was I thinking? This is awful!” 😂
My ‘to fix’ excel spreadsheet is also huge now. But that’s good right.. i understand what’s wrong, right?? Right? 😅 #writing #writingjourney #debutnovel

Got a good laugh from @NR_Walker. Will think of all characters as glow sticks from now on.

Feeling the buzz of finishing a first draft. What a wonderful feeling to look back at all those words like “I put those there” 🤭 Now the next juicy part - editing! Wooooo!
