I NEEDED THIS

I NEEDED THIS

i'm telling you this because i'm struggling with it, too.

stop second guessing and doubting yourself. stop getting imposter syndrome while writing. stop comparing.

i know it's hard to stop, and this is a process i always struggle with. but it's awful when you get tunnel vision, seeing all the plot holes and every little grammatical error made. i open my wip's sometimes, and get such bad anxiety that i can't even write, because i'm so scared. it literally doesn't make sense, but it happens.

but learn to love what you write. grow attached to your characters, and write whatever you want. write for yourself first. and no matter what, whether it's one word or sentence that you wrote that day, be proud of yourself.

self validation and self care comes before a completed novel or mesmerizing characters.

I need a confession like this-

I CANNOT

ahh hello hello <3 🌻 sts

Ah hello friend (:

"In an infinite multiverse of trillions upon trillions of worlds, despite the hundreds I've visited, i just never managed to find anyone as special or unique as you are."

Thank you for the ask!! :DDDD

what a romance writer loves to hear: so, tell me about your two idiots

<3

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TWO CENTS, I REALLY NEEDED IT

Yeah! I think it's the tunnel vision we get sometimes, because I'll look back at my story and think "I actually did a pretty good job." It's also how we don't get immediate gratification in writing like we're used to.

We have to spend hours over a single project, creating and raising it, and it's scary both posting it and also not receiving an immediate "good job!" because that's not how it works. But at the same time, it's so, so rewarding.

The fact that I'm my first target audience hit me hard. It's true-I have to enjoy what I write because I do write for myself first, while also thinking of others.
