This is it. This is the time you’ll write the book. You’ll finish the draft, edit, and continue until you are completely done.

Editing. The bane of my existence.

This past year was one of the most intense of my life, full of good and bad experiences.

I hope we all leave this dumpster fire of a year behind: to better times 🥂

Happy 2025!

Best of luck all & more details soon.

Hello bookish community!

I made a starter pack—Latinx writers of adult fiction. I don’t think we’re that many but our voices could be stronger ✨

Let me know if you would like to be added ☺️

New authors! Things you absolutely do not have to pay for:

-Being published

-Being interviewed on a podcast

-Book reviews

Things you should be paid for:

-Being published

-Your time and expertise

It doesn't matter how new you are. You never need to pay to play 🖤

Stay in a B&B.

Loved this…
Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.

So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

"My writing process is not broken."

If you feel stuck with your story, allow yourself to write 350 per day only.

In no time you’ll have amazing progress. Not forcing myself into thousand-word goals has made wonders for completing my book.
