I have been away from social media for quite some time due to mental health issues. Now tell me, did this place become more vivid over the past few months or are we all still on twitter?

I started my new WIP in first person present and it just didn't click with me. I will change it to first person past and I'm relieved that I decided this after the first chapter, not the last 😂

I believe nobody noticed but I have been away from social media for quite some time. I am thinking about being more active again and the new WIP I started yesterday may be just the right reason. I will need to scream into the void from time to time, I'm sure :)

Yesterday, I finally started the first round of edits on my manuscript. This is so exciting and I hope I can pull this off and make it better in the process :)

Favorite line of the writing session (I may write some more later 😏 and there could be another fav 🤭):
“Like brother, like sister,” he said. “Pinned down underneath me. One for pleasure, the other one for murder.”

I wanna share my favorite line(s) of the day with you again, starting today. If you wanna join in, please do. I'm always happy to see what you lot created.
"The urge to kill her was strong but maybe he could suppress it, go back to be a cheating, lying arsehole instead of a coldblooded killer."

With my current WIP I understand "all vibes, no plot" a lot better. I'm nearly 30k words in and I'm still not sure what the overall plot is or how to connect the scenes properly. Let's hope I'll figure it out in time.

This is how I'm going to start my sex scene and I think it's pretty nice. It's not really #NSFW but I don't wanna get in trouble, so that's why I decided to put a CW on it.

Guys! It's the weekend. Who's writing? What are your goals? I hope to finish the next one and a half chapters which means a word count of about 3k words. Ambitious, I say 😏
I stopped just before the next sex scene and I hope it's going to be as good on paper as it is in my head 😂

My #romantasy just took a very dark turn and is not a #romantasy anymore. But wtf is it? Well, I think I need to figure it out later. For now, I'm enjoying this dark twist! So dark...

It's time to start another writing session and I'm legitimately excited because I found out what went wrong so far. I scrap the boring LI and replace him with a much more exciting one (talking about forbidden love here). I'm going to start with -85 words but that's fine.

Every time I plan/write a #romantasy, one of my characters is a sexy badass who fucks around, is careless, and swag and the other is boring, lame, and a total letdown.

Wow! I did it! After complaining and whining, I sat down, started to write and words were coming. A little over 2k in one session. This gives me hope that I can get back into my routine at last. It's always helpful to vent a little bit on here, so thanks for putting up with me :)

I finished the first draft of my #notHookWIP about a month ago and I think it could be time to dive into edits but I'm terrified. I don't know how to start. Making the first step into the unknown seems just too much to bear. Well, take a deep breath and get to it, I guess 😏

I broke my writing routine a couple of weeks ago and I'm kinda devastated about it. Since July I didn't miss a day and now it's been, I don't know for sure, 20 days? I need to go back to it for my manuscript's sake and for mine... but how? 😭

I turned away from social media to write.
And I did! Gods, did I write! Over 8k words in my new romantasy in the last four days. And I love the story and my two princes so much already. I have a good feeling about this.
But now I miss you guys! What did I miss?

Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Who am I even? This is the most I've ever written in one manuscript and I'm so close to finishing the first draft.
I'm exhilarated!
