#writer goals

[whilereadingandwalking]

It takes real effort to keep believing in my future as a writer. Two books fully rejected by half the agents on the market, a character-driven fantasy and a friend breakup YA. I keep writing, because I can’t stop, but it does make it harder to persist in trying to finish those books. But I have to keep pushing. I know my work is good. I just have to find an agent ready to take a chance on me.

Being a writer is searching up the meaning of words you only know through context to make sure you can use it.

The last time I tried doing NaNo was over 10 years ago.

Back when I had neither husband nor children and had heaps of free time.

I think I tried it like 4 times/years, and never succeeded or won even once.

Not even a little bit. Not even close.

I really don't know what I'm thinking or expecting by trying again.

But hey--Hope Springs Eternal, right? :)

Best of luck to everyone doing NanoWriMo 2023! (Or some version of it.) Whatever happens, I hope you fare better than I (surely) will! <3

A few months ago, @korbuda reached out to me and asked if she could bind a few of many Sanrion stories into books, and this is the result!!!

I absolutely love them! The amount of work that went into making these is staggering, and I am truly humbled that she would take the time and effort to do something like this for me and my stories. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. These books are a wonderful gift, I will cherish them always.

Still thinking of that tweet that was like "if you gush about a fanfic on social media, let the author know and write a comment ffs", and my first thought was, "yeah, if that author were me and if instead of commenting people talked about it where I don't see it, that would suck", immediately followed by, "but I'd be perfectly happy if I were able to write a story that is worth gushing about like that in the first place."

goals i have regarding my fic Blackout:

non-mandotory

it hitting five thousands hits before it's finished [current hits: 3,700]

having 250 kudos before it's finished [current kudos: 203]

it being good enough so that it's added to collections and that people would recommend it to others

receiving fanart or any fan like content [i would literally go insane and be like i won in life !! ]

mandatory

each new chapter being good enough that my regulars would comment something, anything [i love all of them, and their sense of humor, literally my dopamine]

making everyone crave or try chai at least once

making it to like 60k or so words; making it my longest long fic thus far

INDULGING MY DESINESS

and finishing it... yea

[acurtist]

If only I have the skin tone and the looks,

And the story made me cry too. 🥹✌️

Very picture of innocence and goodness.

Alas, I'm nothing like her. 😳❤️‍🔥

Why do they love her so much??

I know why, she is a REAL Queen. 👑

Sailor bestie 🥰

For the New Year's Writer Goal Asks, how about 🤔 - 🫘 - 💥 please?

Mwah 😘

Hi Bestie! Happy Wednesday!

Ask me about my writing goals for the new year!

🤔 Are there any new characters you want to write about?

Yes, I want to write for Choso. I already have an idea in my mind (a few ideas actually), but I don't want to give too much away!

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

I'm very excited about chapter 10 of North Star! I left us all on quite a cliffhanger, so here's a little peek at what's to come:

Your hand was warm in his, your lips even warmer as you kissed one cheek, then the other. Levi thought his heart would jump out of his chest, it was pounding so furiously. He’d looked at your face hundreds of times in the last several months, but right now, with the light of the early dawn on your face, you looked otherworldly. His eyes glance down at your lips - he wants to feel them on his skin again, he yearns for it.

Sorry you feel sick but here are some asks!

💖🛳️🥕 to start!

Thanks for the asks @celestemagnoliathewriter!

💖What is your primary writing goal for this year? To finish my morally grey Andromeda long fic and my Tedoire long-fic. I'm taking different approaches to writing them. The Andromeda fic is going to be fully written before I post anything, but the Tedoire fic seems to be following the vibes and will be posted as I come up with each chapter.

🛳 Are there any new ships you want to write for? (Platonic, romantic, or anything in between.) Oooh, I haven't really thought about this much. There's nothing that's coming to mind at the moment, but you never know what will catch my attention next.

🥕 What's one area of your writing that you think needs the most amount of improvement? The same as last year - dialogue. I can imagine the scene so perfectly and know exactly what is being said, but then filling in the pacing a scene around the dialogue is so tough. Definitely something I'm going to keep working on this year.

2024 Writer Goal Asks

I want to write a book of short stories so surreal and memorable that they get printed in prose collections that people write analytical essays on and obsess over their symbolism

6 & 7 for the fic rec asks! - @munson-blurbs

6: 😊 A fic that made you smile on a bad day: would probably be Eddie’s Notes by @m0llygunn. It’s just realistic and cute and I really enjoyed it.

7. 💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals:

This one is hard mainly just because I’m inspired by every single story I read but lately it’s been The Sweetness by @imjuststeddietrashatthispoint and One Too Many Birthdays by @shybunnie20
