✨ ONE YEAR OF BELLE ✨

I’m 21 away from 300 sales on my debut novel 🥰

If I get 26 more sales by the 18th, then I will have sold 300 copies of my book by its first birthday 🥹🫶🏾✨

I just read some of the fanfiction I wrote back in high school, and 🫣

Let’s just say, I’ve improved so much as a writer 😅

Just a reminder for the authors who are feeling hopeless about their marketing

A pin I made at the end of April to promote my debut just started getting thousands of views, clicks and hundreds of saves… at the end of August

You’ll find your audience eventually, it just takes time 🫶🏾

When They’re Annoyed at First Sight to Lovers ✨
.
.
If you never heard of this trope before, it’s a distant cousin of enemies to lovers where the two main characters do not vibe with each other at first but over time they build a sweet bond and they learn how much they have in common ☺️

One of the fun parts of writing is when you get to create fun new locations. Making a diner spot for my next book and I’m obsessed with it 🥞🍔🍦

Writing your second book is constantly looking back at your debut and wondering how you did this the first time 🙃

Sophomore Slump is hitting hard

If you write your book blurb and you look at it and go “wait, I want to read that book” then you did it right 🫶🏾

Being an author is being both amazed and horrified by your own writing 🫣
