At 420 pages and 85k words I finished my novel today! 🥲

Had my first feedback session for the beginning of my manuscript. I originally wrote it months ago & knew it was rough start. Feedback hit me hard,trying not to get discouraged and stopping my progress of finishing the book since I’m so close but it’s rough. I know I can work on revision after 🥲

Things have truly shifted into the Locked In phase with my #wordcount this week lol

I have 5 more chapters left to write of my first draft of my very first manuscript ahhhhh! I’m so close holy shit

So grateful to continue gaining opportunities to write and develop my craft 🥰❤️

My spirit feels so light and happy when I come up with new book ideas.

I have two other book ideas I can’t wait to get into after finishing Last Dance in The Disco Inferno (current WIP).

I know it’s in my destiny to land a 3-book deal and it will be with these three WIP ideas I just know it ✨✨✨✨

Just finished watching Trapped (2002) for the first time and holy shit that’s am amazingly written thriller! It was giving Bound with alittle bit of Panic Room intensity . 10/10 ⭐️

one year ago, I took myself seriously and life is almost unrecognizable to me now.

In August of 2024, I started taking myself, my writing seriously. I wanted to celebrate, in the best way I knew how, by reflecting on this creative journey so far with you all. ❤️🫶🏾

As a fem lesbian who loves other fems. I swear the energy be so stale when the fem slides in the DMs but knows not how to hold a conversation to save her life 🙃. This is forever my problem with some lesbian women. Like please learn to have a conversation when getting to know someone PLEASE #lesbian

Today I needed the reminder that though I have dreams I want to achieve, I’ve been dedicating almost everyday towards for months now…breaks are needed, multiple day breaks are okay & NEEDED. My dreams and goals will come, it is a marathon not a sprint. *woosa*

What I’ve been up too lately.

Current #wip Last Dance in the Disco Inferno

#writer #lgbtqwriter #firstnovel #blackwriter

Finished Act I of my first draft of this novel just over 84 pages. I’m so proud but still have lots of story to tell 😅

For the first time ever I wrote over 2,000 words in one day after not writing anything for 3 days. It feels good to have a day with ease and flow. I’m very proud of myself 🥰

#writer #writinganovel #wip

I’m at 15,000 words into my novel & still many words to go. As I’m writing & sharing with others the premise of my story, I get fuel & encouragement into how much this story is needed, wanted, & deserving to be told. Black queer writers continue writing! We need your stories!
