Day 27 ✍️

What are you thankful for?

Music, for being an endless source of happiness and inspiration, and for being my ultimate therapy.

The people I love, and those who love me back. I think I'm pretty unlikeable, so thank you for proving me wrong.

"A leaf? For me? Thank you." 🫀🍁

My contribution to the Frankenstein frenzy. The coveted leaf immortalised behind glass. Quotes from Elizabeth and the Creature, two mirror souls, finding themselves in one another.

How do you come up with book titles?

Do you listen to music when you write?

I can only listen to stuff without lyrics, like classical/baroque pieces, or ambience music. I get too distracted otherwise.

Advice for dealing with imposter syndrome?

For me, imposter syndrome and burn-out almost always come hand in hand, so I take it as a sign to step away for a bit.

Otherwise, remember how badass you are for even taking the steps to write a book.

Day 20 ✍️

Where do you find your inspiration?

In the most random of places. A picture of a fairy. Sun through a canopy of leaves. Snow on Tudor houses. Certain songs. Certain movies. Gothic literature over the years.

These have all inspired stories out of me.

Parts of writing that challenge you?

My ideas. I feel like I rarely come up with anything original, just that it has my own spin. Stamina too, I find I can't write for too long before needing a break.

And dialogue. I struggle to articulate in real life, so..
