crazy thought: my first book may not actually be the book i've been working on for years but a short novella that takes place in the same universe

Are there any author writing groups that are to help each other with writing? I've written myself into a hole and I need some guidance on how to get out of it. I've killed many darlings but still stuck. Or is that something I can pay a developmental editor to look at with me (like my outline) 📚💙

Ugh. I’m not actually as near to publishing as I initially believed. Been editing and there’s so much more that I need to improve and fix 💔

Self-Published Authors: I'm going to be building my author website soon for my debut. I would love to see what your websites look like as inspiration! #booksky #booktok

I just bought the domain for my author website and professional email 🎉 I may be getting a bit ahead of myself but I enjoy the comfort of having those now than scrambling to figure it out after I am ready to go live.

I’m still editing my novel, but I wanted to put a call out there for anyone who can do book illustrations. My book is something that I’ve been writing for a LONG time and so want it to be truly special. Would love to commission 5-8 scene arts to go in the book when the time is right. #booksky

Real #author talk though I am close to finishing my debut novel. I fear publishing through Amazon will result in it being taken down due to the themes (rebellion, censorship, 🏳️‍🌈, etc) Have any authors worked with publishers who don’t shy away from these themes and will print regardless? #booksky

Every time I walk myself back off the ledge of quitting my job, my boss acts so fucking rude I need to actually publish my book and make money or something cuz this is 🤯

I swear I’m not some TikTok obsessed person but if it’s actually banned idk how tf I’m supposed to promote my book when it’s actually published. My book is something I feel like will be easily censored due to thematic content soooo

so I got my manu printed and shoved in a drawer to be ignored for a while so I come back to it with fresh eyes. But in the meantime, I need some books to read. I need some dark book recs :3

ITS DONE!!! ….sorta I came to the conclusion that when I go back to edit, I’ll need to rewrite my ending anyway so I just left my final chapters haphazardly written but EVERYTHING ELSE IS DONE!!!

I am so, so close to being done with my book. And by done I mean before I self edit, have close friends read it, make additional changes, then get professionally edited before finally publishing!! I’m just a little bit creatively blocked… this draft is so different than in past so it’s a challenge

god I’m realizing how bad the ending to my novel is…. I feel like readers may hate it or feel betrayed emotionally… I hope I’m toeing the right side of the line 🤞🤞🤞

lord, this novel is gonna be 150k words at this rate at competition. When it comes time to edit, I’ll need to make some major cuts. On the bright side, act 3 is about to begin. Shame I didn’t have it all completed before the end of the year like planned, but I’m pretty close :)

Goddamn it I’m sick I want to write more before I have to go back to school but instead I’m slowly dying ☠️

I also love one of my primary characters so so so much!! She will not have as much “screen time” (page time?) as I’d like her to have in my first book but I really do hope the readers love her as much as I do ;-;

I wonder how many wars, conflicts, etc, have been started because people were hangry and annoyed with each other? The amount of shit I’ve almost started because I was hangry is too many 🤣

Ugh I came up with a better direction to take my novel but it also makes it far more…. Complicated. I want to just write but I need to draft it out more or else I think it’s all going to get lost in the sauce and not resonate in the way it’s supposed to.

The burn out from everything other than writing right now is so real. I really want to believe, manifest, whatever, that this book will be the thing that gets me out of this rut in terms of self-worth and value. Unfortunately, I know in my heart that it won’t 💔

Final 2 chapters of my novel is this song on repeat: youtu.be/KIjoqpG4B9w?... No, characters aren’t fucking. But, many important people in the story are irrevocably 𝐅⃥⃒̸𝐮⃥⃒̸𝐜⃥⃒̸𝐤⃥⃒̸𝐞⃥⃒̸𝐝⃥⃒̸
