Hello! I am an aspiring, hopefully soon to be author!!

I'm working on two novels right now!!

- A queer romance between a ghost and a Human thats going to be absolutely heart breaking and devastating

-A queer fantasy series with subplots of romance! The first book will be focused on a runaway elven prince and a morally gray vampire!

A lot of the time writing is very difficult for me even if I really want to because I have a lot going on! I have BPD, ASD, as well as OSDD so there can be a lot of distractions, complications, and procrastinations.

I've been writing constantly for about 10 ish years and I really hope to be able to get something finished soon! I don't have any writer or reader friends though so it's hard to stay motivated sometimes!

I'm open to any and all questions whether it's about the books in specific, characters, etc., or about writing in general or just me in general!
Hey there~

I'm curious, do you have any plans for how you will publish once you're done writing the novels? Do you plan to self-publish or perhaps send your manuscripts to publishing houses?

I honestly have absolutely no idea, I unfortunately don't know a single thing about getting stuff published even though I definitely should smh

Honestly, I've never received any feedback when it comes to writing at all since I have no writer or reader friends so I'm not sure ^^'

Hi there!

Fantastic work! You should be proud of how far you've come so far.

What are some ways you get into your best writing mood or flow state?

Hello! And thank you ^_^!! As for the question, I actually usually get more motivated to write after responding to a bunch of rps in a row, since it puts me into the flow of writing in general and helps a lot. I also get more motivated to write after reading! Unfortunately, for the past few months I've been really struggling with motivation and have had sort of a writer's block I can't seem to get out of :p

I understand how difficult writers block can be! Sometimes you just need to take a break for a while or find something else to work on. I'm sure you'll crack it. Thanks for answering my question!
