✨️Friday Writer Check-in✨️ Been writing & editing & pondering wtf I'm even doing. Writing is my life, but I have no readers to show any of it to :( and I feel stuck and not sure what I can/should be doing to get un-stuck. Anyway, happy Friday! #writersky #booksky

(From my current WIP) Holly likes to bake! Jamie likes to play video games or catch up on TV shows he's behind on (he's a famous soccer player so he doesn't often get the time).

writing makes me feel normal. as an author, i still can't accurately describe the feeling or why. it's like all my mental illnesses agree to calm down when im hammering away at a story. my brain behaves, focused on the task at hand. i wonder if the same is true for other authors?

My anxiety manifests the most through overthinking. Lately, all my usual mechanisms to calm down don't feel like they're working. Other #anxiety sufferers here on Bsky, what do you do when your usual methods don't seem to be working as well/at all? (Bear in mind that I'm not officially diagnosed)

It's truly hard to be a self-published indie author right now. Crickets on every platform - I mean there aren't even crickets anymore, they've left too. Either I'm a shit writer or worse than ever at promoting (if not both) but I'm super struggling right now. #booksky #writersky

I hit 89,000 words in my current WIP - and I'm not even done yet?! I'm so, so excited. For months I've been in a rut and unable to write as much as I used to. But the old me is back, baby! Motivated despite having no sales and few Wattpad reads! Writing is & will always be my life. #booksky

So close to my goal!!! 🥳 If you like short, fantastical tales with magic and knights, maybe give it a go! I'd love to turn this 80 into a 100! And tomorrow makes a full year exactly since it's been published, so that would be an epic milestone to hit on the anniversary! 👀💛 [ #booksky ]
