2021 was an important year in my life. It was when I turned 30 which made me re-evaluate a lot of things, and while I'm proud to have achieved some goals, there's still a lot of work to be done. Yes, mostly with writing. (thread) #WritingCommunity #writing #Writer #author #goals

#WritingCommunity, how much time do you usually spend working on a novel before calling it 100% finished? (Including when you put it aside.) #writerslife #writerscommunity #writing #writingtips #writerslift #author #AuthorsOfTwitter #BookTwitter #bookstagram #BookRecommendations

What Tulla wants: To stay afloat in her first college class To avoid anyone finding out she’s in high school What Tulla gets: A cute college boyfriend An even cuter(?) lab partner…who’s a girl A whole lot of questions about her (a)sexuality #IWSGPit #YA #CO #asexual #LGBTQ

On writing: Trust your gut. That little voice inside of you WILL guide and direct you. It’s the spark that knows you can do this—just don’t let it get stamped down by all of the noise out there. A deep part of you already knows it will succeed!!! 📚✨😭

It's a gloomy day here in Budapest. And like on any Monday, I have ten billion things to do and I'm overwhelmed about the amount of fixing my #WIP needs. But I'll squeeze in 4 writing sprints (2000 words) before work. Slow and steady wins the race. 🐢 #WritingCommunity #writing

62-day-challenge, day 1 Yesterday I completely reworked the outline of the second half of act 2 and added 2000 words to my #WIP. I'm working on an enemies-to-lovers story and I'm at scene where the 2 MCs need to work together despite their hate for each other. Fun times! #Writer

In love with some of my recent pieces🤍 #WritingCommunity #Poetry

Today is a bright and windy day in Budapest. Though I have some preparing to do for next week, I'll spend the majority of the day with doing sprints, editing, and revising my outline. I can't wait to get started! 🌄🧋📚🥞 #WritingCommunity #writerslift #writers #Writer #author

Every day I'll be updating my progress to hold me accountable and help me stay on track. If you have a similar project that you've been putting off for a long time... join me! We can do this! 💪🏆🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️ See you guys on the other side. ✨

SO. It's high time to end this. I'm giving myself time until March 31 2022 to finish and fully edit my current project. That's 62 days, more than enough to get this book on its feet. And after that, I'm taking the plunge. No backing out this time.

And in the meantime, day by day, 10 years passed and I'm still just as hesitant when it comes to editing and sending my work out to agents / publishers. I've walking in circles, never really getting ahead.

I have ten million first drafts that need to be edited, because at the last moment I have always shied away from the diving board, afraid that I'm not ready to dive in yet ("what if I ruin my chance with the publishers? no! i need something perfect! *hey, shiny new idea*)
