I am dog-sitting this weekend for some friends and I am beyond excited. I have a slight pup obsession and I am totally okay with it☺️ ⠀ ⠀ QOTD: What is your absolute favorite animal?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #bookblog #bookreviews #igreads #booksihlove #booknerd #bibliophile #bookblogger #igbookstagram #booklife #fortheloveofbooks #bookstack https://www.instagram.com/p/CC4Nyc-g_os/?igshid=1w2f88it5i5jv

I’m in such a MAJOR reading slump😭⠀ ⠀ I think I need to revert back to a fun fantasy or romance book. There’s a lot of seriousness going on in the world and I need an escape without actually leaving my house obviously! I need some recommendations!⠀ ⠀ QOTD: What is your favorite “not so serious” book? ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #bookblog #bookreviews #igreads #booksihlove #booknerd #bibliophile #bookblogger #igbookstagram #booklife #fortheloveofbooks #bookstack https://www.instagram.com/p/CCq8QS6gmad/?igshid=1m3ujcc5oogop

Book Review | You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero

You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero

Genre: Nonfiction, self-help

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

My Thoughts:

I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Jen Sincero did a great job making it funny and relatable, while still calling you out on your BS. She is not messing around on that end… at all! There are a lot of things that I…

Hello friends! Today was a pretty productive day for me. I actually cleaned my car (something I have been putting off cause I haven’t been driving anywhere), I worked out, got some school work done, registered for my college courses next semester, and I still somehow got to read! ⠀ ⠀ This was my way of dealing with my Monday blues that I woke up with. Honestly, I think at this point in quarantine I am trying to do everything I can to keep busy and feel productive. ⠀ ⠀ QOTD: How was everybody’s Monday?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #bookstagram #bookblog #bookreviews #igreads #booksihlove #booknerd #bibliophile #bookblogger #igbookstagram #booklife #fortheloveofbooks #bookstack https://www.instagram.com/p/CCUpUpsgjSz/?igshid=1usiiq85wgiwu

How to Write A First Draft

What? I give advice? Even though I prove on a daily basis that I don’t know what I’m doing? Yes. Because this writing advice HINGES on you not knowing what you’re doing, so it’s well within my jurisdiction.

Treat your first draft like you’re doing nothing but taking notes

You’re not trying to make each paragraph all perfect and literary, you’re just letting yourself know what goes where.

Like, your first draft is 100% allowed to be:

The Room was square. It had purple curtains and the walls were white. It was cold and the floor creaked.  

Like, that got the description down and out the way so you’re free to write the next paragraph, and the next, and the next, until you’ve stumbled your way into a full book. A book full of wooden descriptions and dialogue like [insert heartfelt response], but a book. As it’s been said before, it’s easier to edit a bad book than a blank page.

But you wrote that, so next draft you can sit down with and turn it into something that sounds, you know, less like cardboard, like:

She pushed the door open and peered into the hidden room. The perfectly square configuration was almost as cold as the blank white walls and the chill that cut into her lungs. Through her foggy breath she could see dusty curtains- faded purple, a color choice that made her frown. The floor creaked under each careful step as she made to examine them closer.

There. A paragraph that is objectively better than the last one.

My point is, don’t let the fear of writing ‘badly’ stop you from writing at all. Give yourself permission! Do it on purpose! Wake and up and decide you’re going to write everything that way as terribly as you possibly can, write the whole damn thing that way if you have to, revel in flat characters and and choppy transitions and missing subplots, as long as you’re prepared to revise it later.

Just let yourself suck sometimes. Life gets a lot easier.

5 Ways of Balancing Your Writerly Life

5 Ways of Balancing Your Writerly Life

by Michael Cristiano

One of the biggest challenges I have as a writer has very little to with writing and very much to do with time and motivation. After spending eight hours at a 9-to-5, writing often gets left out of the weekday equation, especially when other commitments like personal upkeep, maintaining relationships, and sleep also demand attention. And even when a writer gets around to…
