My characters definitely have their own opinions on what they should be doing. Please tell me mine aren't the only ones who like to do their own thing?

Instead of setting arbitrary word-count goals, find out what feels more natural to you ✍🏻

Half of me wants to make a goal for the pre order of “An Angel Enraged”

The other half knows I’ve only ever smashed a goal for pre order was through a kickstarter, & I will NOT go through that Hell again.

Especially not for the 7th book in a series. 🫩

Why is it so hard to write siblings fightingggggg😫 Specifically genuine arguments and not silly banter! Like- the fight is (kind of) in character and needs to happen, but STILL! #fanficauthour #fanfiction #authorstruggles

Ugh, why is fight choreography SO HARD?! ☠️

Give enough detail to make it a good fight. Don't give it TOO MUCH detail, or readers will get bored and skip it.

By the by, I'm working on Huntress. The reboot/rebrand is happening. Right here, right now.

Writer's block is talked about all the time. What about editing block? Taking it one word at a time 😂

I asked my characters to “march forward!”
They said “nah, we’re going shopping for better character motivation.”

Guess who had to edit the last two chapters?

Author life in a nutshell:

Spends months writing the book ✍️

Finally publishes it 🎉

Realizes marketing is harder than writing it 😅

Don’t worry—you’re not alone! Marketing doesn’t have to be scary (or exhausting). Let’s make it simple and fun together! 📚✨ #AuthorStruggles

🩷✨️ I'm determined to keep my fitness a priority, especially when things get tough. Last time, anxiety took my gym routine away. Not this time. Fighting back, one rep at a time.

When you are editing the printed frist draft and realize you missed an entire chapter. Hopefully it will be saved on the computer.

I really need to rest to clear my head. For days, I've been writing with lots of grammatical mistakes ~ wrong words in context, spelling errors, and lots of muttering like, "Who is Lita?" and "I've been using the name Welna all over again."

Not being able to read your horrific handwriting when making revisions. I swear it was legible when I wrote it.

Hey #authors, do any of you have a love/hate relationship with a character you're writing bc they have a piece of you that's hard to connect to (for whatever reason) & it makes it hard to write them?

Or is that just me? 😅
