january 6. thinking about the things i left behind to pursue a version of me that might never exist. despite my best efforts, despite knowing i'll render myself a ghost which is sucking on its own ghost fingers, floating and swarming around bodies i don't want to haunt.

"i will take a break from poetry," i said. "i will work on my novels."

also me: *starts writing another poetry book*

if i can't make my characters a menace to society, then i fail as a writer

look who shows up as an author on google🥺

i finally started working on revising my novel's first draft and i'm so happy to making big changes to this lush sapphic vampire love story <3

with my writing i no longer aim perfection. i just wish to improve with each work and be in connection with other people. this has brought me so much joy <3

writing is going great! i am writing slowly but my focus is on enjoying the process, not fast drafting. my only concern is that as i'm writing this book i realize it does not have (and maybe never will) action-packed or fast-paced scenes/chapters and i fear people will find it boring💀 it's more introspective and focused on relationships between characters. but i'm enjoying this style so far! which makes decisions harder lol. a writer's dilemma.

what if i told you that i want to create a password protected profile on tumblr for my writing projects where i will invite you ~personally~ and it will be our secret society & you will be able to submit posts/questions/media and i will share snippets, behind-the-scenes, extra exclusive scenes, plotting/drafting/editing tips, and all things self-publishing... I MEAN IT WOULD BE FREAKING AWESOME AND I'M WORKING ON IT. it will be pretty invisible to everyone except for ~us~ hehe
