A friend gave me a bottle of Prosecco on my birthday in 2025. I held onto it, waiting for good book news.
The bottle started to remind me of what I hadnβt achieved. It weighed on me.
Last night, we opened it. No news yet, but we celebrated life. π₯Ή

It's amazing how a few tweaks in your opening chapters can give you confidence in your #book again.

I procrastinated starting the next chapter in my wip. There were too many ways to start. Too many feelings to explore.
Then, I started with one aspect of the setting and one sensation and one thought and one feeling. And the chapter took off!

Plantser - not pantsing or plotting but planting seeds for your wip and seeing if they sprout as you draft the story.
Thoughts?

I hear this! I am constantly second guessing and rereading, making sure the scene is working.

I think 90% of my time as a #writer is trying to figure out how to end the chapter I felt great about 5 pages ago.

I had the best of intentions but yesterday turned into one of those days where I struggled with feelings about my pub journey. My partner reminded me of this cartoon. Iβm sharing in case anyone else needs a gentle, βDonβt give up.β

It's nice to know there are alternatives in life that includes #cats and #books.
What would you choose?

#amreading CROSS YOUR HEART AND HOPE HE DIES, the second adult mystery rom com by Jenny Elder Moke. And yes, mystery rom com should definitely be a thing.

At a book release party last night, someone asked the author what was their motivation for writing #books.
It's something I've thought about but never put into words. HBU?

I guess I took a week-long break from SM. It wasn't intentional and then it became intentional. But I'm glad I gave myself some space from everything.
Sometimes, a little space can do us good!

Brainstorming titles and they all have words like foggy, tired, and sleepy. Maybe I just need a nap.
