Just Tried To Outline Future Chapters And My Brain Nearly Short Circuited. My Creative Mind Is Not Meant

one of my fav parts about writing is that moment in the story where everything just comes together like pieces to a puzzle.

and it’s even better when it wasn’t even PLANNED. when you didn’t even know you were putting a “puzzle” together, so to speak, and then suddenly you’re like: omg there it is! a beautiful puzzle!

when you just trust the story and your characters to take you where they’re supposed to take you and they do!

one of the most satisfying feelings ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

over 103,000 words written and i’m still only about 60% through book 3…… that’s what i get for being a representative of the thicc book committee

it might also have something to do with the fact that i have nine main characters, tons of important side characters and plots, and lore that runs deeper than a rabbit hole but idk

is it too late to add this to my new year’s resolution list? better question— is it too late to make a new years resolution list

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD. Once you're given this award, you're supposed to paste it in the ask of eight people who deserve it. If you break the chain, nothing happens but it's sweet to know so. I think you're beautiful inside and out, never forget to love yourself💝🌟

omg i’m still fairly new to this app so idk how to do any of this but 🥹🥹🥹 i’m forwarding this to whoever comes across it💛

being a romance writer has truly warped my perception of love and romance irl in a sense that i have *such* high standards and expectations of what i want in a relationship.

i want a love that sweeps me off my feet and nothing less! it’s too bad basic romance feels like some unattainable holy grail these days🫠

where are the men who yearn and court??? where are they????????!!!!!!!!!

reaching that point in my fictional universe where my characters are getting older and things are starting to change within their dynamic/lives <<<<

they’re becoming *gasps loudly* adults with responsibilities😭😭😭

i’ve reached what i’m calling ‘the beginning of the end’ of this specific group dynamic in my universe aka the halfway point of my journey to writing book six and i’m kind of losing my mind??? i did not anticipate it being this hard???😭

*knocks on wood* is it weird that i’ve never seriously suffered from writer’s block….

i just feel like i’m constantly seeing other writers talk about how much of a struggle it is for them to even write a sentence, and i’ve just… never had that problem? like i have TOO much to write about to never not know what to write, if that makes sense.

i blame all the premature life experiences i’ve had. maybe that’s what it is since i tend to draw inspiration from personal experiences. all my trauma is finally coming in handy for something omg😭

this is why writing is literally the most *perfect* thing for me. you’re telling me i get to have fun creating characters, romance, and storylines, *and* i get to pour my own personal experiences into my characters and stories in the most therapeutic way???? sign me up for life please!!!!

i feel like an old maiden in dating culture. girls, don’t settle <3 do what makes you happiest!

i’m either filled with inspiration as i type on my keyboard at lighting speed or i’m spongebob trying to write an essay and all he has is the word: The.

there is no in between unfortunately.

do any other writers try their hardest to convince themselves they don’t have a favorite character to write or am i the only one burdened by the anchors of denialism

(but if anyone asks, i love all my children equally)
