the book is done 💌 / finishing draft 1 of my fantasy project / writing vlog 19

draft 1 of project NIGHT is finally done. this vlog is... very turbulent lol.
💌 excerpts from the WIP:   / 1496164849822453762  

lately I'm struggling a lot in my writing journey / balancing my anxieties around publishing. I always doubt if my stories will one day find their place in the world. I think that’s why I got as emotional as I did at the end. (I'm fine, just feeling very wrung out from the last few weeks. writing a book, even a messy first draft, is hard lmao)

anywayyyy—thanks for watching :)
