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.

<3

yes !! please interact with all of us, we'd love to have you here. and it's so true- a simple ask or a "this sounds interesting" or even a like on our writing just makes everything so worth it.

i'm so happy for you! <3

writing is lonely

it's true, being an author is lonely. you're stuck-and not in a bad way-in your own world and with your own characters, and it's like you either want to bottle your precious gem up inside or tell the whole world about it.

but reaching out to other authors-and possibly fellow readers!-takes time and effort. don't be scared to promote your works, or tell others about your wip's. we're all in the same boat here, and doing so makes writing a little less lonely. ♥️

plus, we all reply :)

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

YOU WROTE Q BOOK??? TELL ME QBOUT IT PLEASE

YEAH I DID

so there's the first book that I finished and have been procrastinating publishing since January.

It's about Hindu mythology, is kind of like Percy Jackson but also at the same time, not like Percy Jackson.

I'll give you the (currently) official synopsis lmao:

---

I've written many characters facing treacherous challenges, and now the trials of my life have begun.

I'm Anusha, and if you think your life is messy, you couldn't begin to imagine mine.

It started off normally enough – a recurring nightmare; class bullies; a miserably failed kidnapping; a picnic I didn't want to go to; generally just hating my life.

But then I somehow got magically transported to the picnic bus by my class teacher, who alongside an unknown woman tried to kill me and my sister Rochelle. I got rescued by an Oreo-loving stranger everyone but me seemed to know, and got sent to a magic empire to fully fledge into what I apparently am – a semidivine organism, offspring of some celestiality. But before I could even understand what was happening, I got picked, balled up and thrown into a mission no one really cared about.

Apparently, the earth never got over its Hindu mythology.

I only pray history doesn't repeat itself.
