I love making charts. Not only is it great for procrastinating, sometimes they actually bring clarity by helping me simplify things. Yay! #amrevising #amwriting #plotting #writing #procrastination #progress #writerslife

I don't know why it took me so freaking long to do this, but I finally did a reading for my main character. Turns out, my old tarot spread is kind of perfect for figuring out character arcs. Go figure. #amrevising #amwriting #tarot #writerslife #writing

TFW you chart the tension in your manuscript and get a forehead-smackingly clear picture of where things went wrong. Hahahahahafuck. #writerslife #amrevising

If you don't hear from me for the next few days, here's why. #avatarthelastairbender #legendofkorra

I've been trying to figure what I'm trying to do with these revisions for two days. Sometimes you gotta get physical. #amrevising #writerslife

Oh my God, I'm so close. I didn't get as many words written day because I spent over six hours plotting out the end of the story. I'm so excited! #amwriting #writing #manuscript #scrivener #goals #progress #writerslife #writersofinstagram

My first #nanowrimo win. Third times the charm, I guess. Now, if you'll excuse me, I still about 30,000 more words to write before the end of the month. #amwriting #writing #writersofinstagram #writerslife

This was the beginning of my current WIP. I'm still in awe of how quickly this story is pouring out of me. It turns out that I was right. I am having so much fun with it. #amwriting #writing #writerslife #inspiration #writersofinstagram

Made a new aesthetic for my current WIP. Working Title: Blades of Ink and Honey #writing #aesthetic #writerslife

The last two months. I packed up all of my old half-written stories in September. I started two other stories before I got the idea for my current WIP. Plus, I started journaling daily last week. All in all, in the past two months, I've written roughly 55,350 new words. I think I may finally be back in the zone. #writing #writerslife #amwriting #writersofinstagram

Clear desk. Clear mind. Time to write. #amwriting #writerslife #writing #desk

The gang's all here. Finally. #amdrawing #writing #writerslife #characters

It took me a while, but I realized there was something that I hadn't done in a while. Being a visual person, I found drawings and collages to be super helpful while I was writing my first two novels. Being able to look up at my wall and see my characters was something that I've been missing during the last couple of years. Hopefully, this will help me move forward in my current story. Next up, the guys and soldiers. #amwriting #art #characters #writing #writerslife

I think it's time to get back to basics. I've been working on a new story (that I'm determined to finish, dammit!), and I'm getting close to a solid outline. Hopefully I can start writing soon. #writing #writerslife #kickingitoldschool

Highlighters are so much fun. And now, on to notes. #writing #studying #writerslife
