41 days until I’m back in my beautiful NYC!! 🍃
.
.
I can’t wait to see my city, but I can’t wait even more to see my wonderful people! I am determined to have this book completely done before then, so I can enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! 🍃

QOTD: What’s your recent five star read?
.
.
I know I’ve been sharing this book a lot recently, but it seriously has been helping me so much. I’ve been reading just a few pages here and there and it’s been sparking creativity! Which is the best! 🍃
.
.
I managed about 500 words before work this morning, which is basically unheard of for me. I am not a morning writer. But really hoping to finish this book by next week, so we shall see. 🍃

How is #campnanowrimo treating you?🍃

“But what of these dreams that hum in my bones?” - Alison Malee 🍃
.
.
I had a pretty productive writing day yesterday, even though I didn’t quite reach my 5K goal. Which is okay and I will not beat myself up about. We’re being nicer to ourselves, right?🍃
.
.
QOTD: What’s the hardest part of drafting for you?🍃
.
.
I’ve been discovering a lot about my writing lately and changing up some parts of my process. Which is fun and frustrating. It’s a continuous learning experience, that’s for sure. But if I’m to reach my dreams, I have to keep moving forward!
Also, meet Mara, my beautiful prayer plant. It’s been a learning experience trying to coax her to grow, but just like with writing, it takes time and it’s worth it in the end. 🍃

Happy Monday, friends! 🍃
.
.
I’ve already had quite a day, and it’s not even noon yet. Had to take Eliza H. to the vet today, so I’ve been spending a little extra time with her. 🍃
.
.
I managed to hit my 5K goal on Saturday, so I’m planning on another 5K today. I made an outline and everything and then my characters completely surprised me and took me in a different direction! Isn’t it funny how that happens?🍃
.
.
How’s everyone else doing on #campnanowrimo? Made any story/character discoveries lately? .

Happy Saturday! 🍃
.
.
I’m way behind in my #campnanowrimo word count. Ridiculously behind.
But I have been making my way through Dear Ally and I’m loving it. If you write YA (actually even if you don’t) I highly recommend it. 🍃
.
.
My goals for today:
🍃 At least 5K written
🍃 Three chapters revised
🍃 Create new promo images .
.
What are your plans for the weekend?

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” - Louis L’Amour 🍃
.
.
I’m going to honest, the faucet refuses to turn on at the moment. It’s frustrating when it’s all in your head and it refuses to come out onto paper. This happens, it’s just part of the process. 🍃
.
.
Nevertheless, I’m persisting. Because I can’t keep focusing on the negative, if I am to make any headway towards the positive. My plan is still to finish this book by the end of the month! 🍃

What do you do when you’re in a creative rut? 🍃
