To all the writers: Yes—doubt will follow you. But so will courage, if you let it. So write. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. Because the world is waiting for the story only you can tell.

My paranormal romance 🖤 Alice Poe didn’t plan to summon a flirtatious ghost with boundary issues—and she definitely didn’t mean to fall for him. -He Haunts Me Not

Your worth as a writer doesn’t hinge on an agent’s reply. Your value was never up for debate.

You know that amazing feeling of hitting the perfectly cold sheets after the longest day and an everything shower? You get to read for as long as you want and don’t have to set an alarm? Multiply that by 10, and that’s what it feels like to finish a book. And I’m soaking up every second rn.

Not every piece of feedback you receive is applicable, especially because reading is subjective. Read your feedback thoroughly and analytically: look for patterns, make notes of your own, and write down any questions. If you need to, step away again and come back later.

My TBR is long, of course, but I CANNOT wait for this puppy. I want to be like Emily Henry when I grow up.

This is my boy, Hamlet! He’s a spicy Siamese that loves to talk, scream, attack, and sometimes cuddle. I wouldn’t trade him for the world!
