Fuck it. I’ve been fighting it the whole time I’m writing this new book but I’m giving in and writing an epic romance.

Remember when “resilience “ was a thing for struggling writers and all thd articles from 20-somethings saying it took me 6 months to write my book and another 6 months before i got a 6-figure deal but I NEVER GAVE UP? Now, everyone's just fighting for their mfing life…

Took a detour today around Lough Guitane for research and passed a massive house and grounds completely kitted out from one end to the other for Halloween. parked car up the road to take snaps of the lough and could hear strains of scary music drifting from speakers outside the house.
