On my recent moments of realization, a wider array of new releases, the inspiring Abby Jimenez, and a book recommendation in which I deeply connected to the main character (and yeah, it's a rom-com).
I have never researched the steps to publishing a book, but I can imagine it would be quite the process! I love reading your Substack so I would definitely want to read a book you wrote!!
When I hit 'the end' of my first draft I closed the document and didn't reopen it for A YEAR! It suddenly became so so overwhelming. Now, I'm working on it again and even shared it with someone - just one person close to me but it still felt like a win! Who knows what's coming next for my book but I'm happy that it's not the end for my journey with it yet.
Congratulations!! That is so amazing. It’s so scary to share with someone - might be the biggest thing I’m scared of in this process haha! Good for you
Congrats on the 100 Subscriber milestone! Please continue to feel the freedom and fun of writing. I hope the numbers won’t be a distraction or a source of pressure. I enjoy your newsletter. Good luck with all of your writing!
Starting my journey as well, I can relate to these feelings. Thank you for sharing and making me not feel alone! I'm excited to keep reading and seeing where your book goes! Count me in when it's done!

Leanna that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Thank you! We will see what happens!! 🤞🤞
You might like Christine Riccio's book writing series on youtube. It's entertaining!
Thank you! I will definitely take a look
I'm so happy for you Isabel! 32,000 words is a huge accomplishment. Have you found an agent?
Thanks!! I haven’t even started querying yet haha 😂 going to finish the first draft and do a round or two of edits first :)
Writing and publishing are two different animals. I hope you keep enjoying your writing.
They definitely are. And thank you!

Thank you so much! It definitely is not haha - makes me glad that I didn’t feel much of a change.
