One chapter away from finishing my book, have a little collection of epigraphs as a treat
#writer #writercommunity #bookish #aspiringauthor

My name is Juniper Reeds, I'm 20 years old and I'm working on a fantasy novel called Of Ash and Ember. Its a slow burn that features LGBT characters and relationships, class discrimination, toxic relationships. It also has knights, princesses and a rivals to lovers of the century.

Background: green color with image of clovers, surrounded by green leaves and leaves in all the pride colors, including the rainbow, trans colors, ace colors, and omnisexual colors. Text: "March 2025" on top and "#QueerPrompts" and "Host: @CJAralore" on the bottom, all in a rainbow font. Center text is the prompt written above.

#QueerPrompts March 1: Zero Discrimination Day: Introduce yourself & your WIP/story/book or talk about discrimination in your life or story

Book progress update: currently at the part where Aleena is now a main character, yippee!!!

Me when I finally got on Vraylar

Can't believe tiktok is being banned. I don't know how to use other social media and refuse to learn! #tiktokban

I wrote nearly 10 thousand words yesterday and this was my set up when night hit. At 129k now.

2024 Round Up and Plans for 2025 YouTube video by Juni Reads

I made my first YouTube video yesterday for my channel! I wrapped up my 2024 readings and also talked about what I'll be doing in 2025! Go and watch it!

Hit 100k words today! I remember typing up the first words on the very first draft of this book. Is this how it is to have kids?

#writingcommunity #writer #writers #100k

Planned my whole day around a #date that cancelled on me (damn you family matters /j). Sometimes you just gotta #write a few words and call it day then snuggle up with a cup of hot chocolate and watch hbomberguys video on plagiarism on YouTube again

#writingcommunity

It's heartbreaking to see

It does! What's even the point of calling it creativity if an AI bot did it all for you while stealing thousands of works to do so?

Can we stop putting #AI into EVERYTHING!? No, I don't need AI to write for me or do plotting for me or outlining or editing. I am perfectly capable!

The realization that my book would be longer than I expected was a nasty one. Did you get any surprises while writing your book?

Calculated how many words I'll need to do by the scenes I have left. Send help. #writingcommunity #writing #outlining #writer

I have a tiktok by the way. I make funny little videos on there sometimes #writing #writingcommunity

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

#Outlining is my second least favorite part of #writing. The first is #editing by the way. Obligatory #catpicture #writingcommunity

The best part of writing is the characters imo. So here's mine. There's Nuri, Estee, Lilach, Carol, and Aleena

Of course I have others but these are the main cast!! #writing #book #characters #writingcommunity #indieauthor

Writing Tip:
The quality of your first draft does not represent the quality of the finished product. Far from it. Most first drafts are an incomprehensible mess. Quality shines in editing. Even a poorly-written draft can be polished into a diamond over time.

Only 2,554 more words until I'm officially at 50k for the month. I'll be taking a "break" for two weeks to outline the rest of my book and then I'll be back to it to finish the final 35k (I assume) of this book. #writingcommunity #writing #catpicture as always.

Totally valid excuse

Hitting 42k written this month and I feel good! Anyone else participating in #naNOwrimo? I am ready to finish this month out with a BANG💥 #writingcommunity #writing (plus #catpicture)

The best #reward for #writing is a kitty to snuggle with #writingcommunity

Hitting 70k in my novel feels like another big step. Only 15k more before I hit 85k and take the smallest of breaks. #writingcommuntiy

Officially at 65k now which means I'm a little over half way to the final word count I'm aiming for!! #WritingCommunity #indieauthor

It is me, Waves. Now you know my real name ;)
