Publishing my first novel taught me something important: apparently “finished” is a fictional concept. 😂
Any other writers immediately start mentally rewriting things the second the book is out of their hands?

There's a theory that says you shouldn't tell people about your work in progress projects because on a subconscious the act of sharing feels like completion. You are then less likely to fnish the project. But I don't care – I've written the first 1k words of my first novel! 1/2

About to dive back into editing my first novel with clear eyes after some time off - it’s taken me a full year to write and another year of editing so far. Hopefully after this round of edits it’ll be in excellent shape to begin querying. #firstnovel #horrorfantasy #horrorromance #alwaysbewriting

I’ve been writing since I was a kid & I’ve always wanted to write my own novel. It took me over a decade to figure out a plot but FINALLY have one (& it came to me in a dream!) It’s dystopian & supernatural. Pictured below are my two main characters!
