When you are editing the printed frist draft and realize you missed an entire chapter. Hopefully it will be saved on the computer.

Of all the surfaces my cat could choose to sleep on while I'm trying to design book graphics...

He stayed there for over an hour. 😹

Every day is bring your pet to work day in this house.

Why is it easier to plan an entire new series than to write book 2 in an existing series?

I have about four new series ideas, but so many half-written drafts of existing ones.

One day is one day. I'll write them all.

When I want to work on my novel but life wants me to work on boring stuff...

Do we really need clean laundry today?

Can't I spend all afternoon rewriting chapter 1 instead?

Why is it easier to write an entire book than a single blurb?

*rewrites the same sentence for the umpteenth time*

Just me?

When your #WIP is finally ready for beta reading...

...but you wake up at 3 AM with another scene you want to include. 🫣

Why am I like this?
Why can't I just let these characters go?

*gives up on sleep
*adds another scene

Of everything I've done lately, why does buying a home printer make me feel the most like an adult?

Finally time to print out that manuscript and do another detailed sweep.

Tenses will be the end of me 🫣

*me writing smut talking to myself*

You can't say butthole...that's immature it will take the reader out of the scene.

*Google searches synonyms for butthole*

This is writing for me now...

Hunting for weak words in my manuscript and as usual, my crutch is "just" - oh man, so many of them! Almost 300.

What's YOUR weakness? #booksky #authorstruggles

I feel sorry for my husband sometimes.

When you're a femdøm author, people sure like to make a lot of assumptions about your partner (s) 🤭

Luckily he doesn't have a fragile ego, and finds the attention amusing.

Yet another reason to write under a pen name.

I wonder if writers feel this too, when you look at your work and think ‘Was this better in my head?’ Let’s talk creative doubt.

Think of your book as a conversation with other authors and with your reader. What message are you communicating? 👤💬

Why?!? Why do they do this to us? Can we please stick to the outline I made? It took me a long time to make it!

Your book should work alongside your business to reach your target audience 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽📗

Often it feels like I'm shouting into the void. Between low views and limited engagement, I wonder a lot why I keep going.

So, tell me, did you see this post?
