I’m sitting down to revise + republish a book I wrote + published 3 years.
The work isn’t very fun… but I want to make sure the book is polished for new readers, with a better cover and all.
This is a part of the job of “writing,” and I will make the best of it :) 📚

A kind reminder:
Whatever it is you want to do, nobody else can do it for you. It’s up to you, and every day, it’s you vs you. And if you’ve seen someone else succeed at what you’re trying, then you can do it too.
I believe in you.

Just had a writing session for my horror story.
I set out to hit 500 words, and I hit 800!
😁🎉
Not quite 1k or 2k, but man does it feel good regardless. And, I’m on a 5-day writing streak!
I’m wishing y’all the best with your writing!

Hi! I’m brand new to Bluesky, and I’d appreciate any advice for a newbie you might have for me. I’m here to connect with fellow writers and readers (especially of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror), learn a lot and share my two cents about publishing as an indie author :) 📚 nice to meet you. #writer #new
