Also congrats!! This is such a major goal of mine. 🙌

myheartalive.bsky.social•59 days ago

Thank you!! Good luck, I hope you manage it! It wasn’t easy but it was definitely also fun 😁

I've written about... maybe a third or half a novel? I haven't looked at it in years but I know I got a good chunk done. I should revisit it sometime and if I can ever pull my brain away from writing firstprince, I will lol.

That’s really cool! There were honestly a few moments where I might have just dropped the whole thing and left it unfinished, I think that was the hardest thing, pushing through when it felt hard. So maybe when you manage to revisit yours you’ll be all refreshed and ready to go!

I have teeeerrible fear of being perceived, but it’s an m/m historical romance, exes to lovers kind of thing

You know what I love about you, Whimsy? You say all the things I think before I filter them so I don't scare people. 😂 I want to be like you when I grow up.

whimsymanaged.bsky.social•59 days ago

HAHAHA I’m so happy you feel that way because it’s mainly because I have no impulse control and no brain-mouth/finger filter 😂😂😂 Also: I’m an Aries 💀

I am like this with people I know really well! But a lifetime of toning myself down is hard to unlearn, tbh.
