I know I might have mentioned this, but I've been trying to self-publish for probably 9 years now. Every time I think I have something worth publishing, I get crippling anxiety and self sabotage myself. Hence, two hard drive failures and then me just deleting my novella. lol. 🙃

I need to join a local writing group. My brother read over a couple chapters of the book I'm working on and was incredibly sweet, but I feel a bit discouraged. I used to be praised for my dialogue, and now it seems that's my weakest area. 😭 #writing #amwriting

My subscribers for my YouTube channel voted on me reacting to "A Serbian Film," and now I'm just traumatized.

One of my voice actor friends was more than willing to work within my budget for an audiobook. I was under the impression I was offering so little for my it... APPARENTLY, he already voiced a book for $20. WTH?? THAT'S AWFUL!!! 😡 So, yeah, I'm offering WAY more than that so he was happy.

I know I'm a huge perfectionist, but I just deleted a 35k word novella of mine because I just wasn't feeling it. ...Five years of work Hopefully, this next one feels... better. #writing #amwriting

Guess who just had their entire 4th draft accidentally deleted?? 🤪 Thank goodness I learned my lesson and had a backup. I don't know how I have this extreme amount of bad luck with losing entire iterations of my work. #writingcommunity #writerslife #writer #author #writersky

I edited two chapters out of my monster romance novella months ago and now I'm going through it and don't know where I placed that draft. If I don't find it soon I'm going to have to start over. I'm so angry at myself!! Why am I so disorganized?? #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersky #author

I want a horror game that flips the script and lets me be friends with the scary thing. It can still be absolutely horrifying, trying to scare me, but if I don't get scared and bring it treats...I can be its friend. Gimme monster friends that are actually scary. I need them.

Logged into tiktok and well... yeah... so, hello!! #booksky

Every writer knows the struggle: re-reading a sentence 50 times because you can’t decide if it’s genius or garbage. Pro tip: It’s probably genius. 😉

I really wanted to do rapid releases of books (as in writing 2-4 books a year). I have been absolutely STRUGGLING with this new book though!! This is the fifth book I've written over the course of 17 years. I have no idea how other writers are able to do it! HOW??

Editing my debut novel for the 4th time and I know there's going to be many, many revisions after this. How many revisions did you do for your book before publication? #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting #writer #author #writersky

I'm sure my geriatric cat can smell cheese from the other side of the universe...

I didn't know you could shut off all DMs on here. Yass!! 😂

Hey all! Here's a #promosky interests post! I love: 🖤 Writing 🖤 Drawing 🖤 Cosplay 🖤 Horror Movies 🖤 Monster Romances 🖤 Dark Romances 🖤 Dead by Daylight 🖤 Hazbin Hotel I hope to be mutuals with some of you. Have a good day!

Getting distracted from editing my book that has a January deadline... Been writing smutty Dead by Daylight fanfics instead. 😂😂😂 Ghostface has me in a chokehold.

I finished a rough draft of a monster romance manuscript and got an alpha reader to look over it. I haven't opened the alpha reader's notes in a month though. I'm terrified. 😂

I'm looking over my outlines and wondering where my story went off the tracks. I know that's normal but now I'm stuck and have been stuck for quite some time on this writing project.

Once again, I'm sorry. I didn't expect my post to get any engagement and as such, completely forgot about it for an entire month. Just followed back all the authors who followed me. 😆

Oh geez! Of course, the one post I made a month ago and consequently forgot about took off and Neil Gaiman himself even responded? What?!

Hi, are there any fellow authors on here?
