🕯️i tried donna tartt’s writing routine & had a mid-book crisis // writing vlog

hi! so, a few weeks ago I tried following Donna Tartt's writing routine for two days. It was kind of a ✨flop✨ tbh, and I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about it now that I'm on the other side, but I hope u enjoy this little writing update and my minor mental breakdown lol!

as I mentioned in the video, please let me know which famous author's writing routine you'd like to see me tackle next.

thank you for watching :)
