Writing/Publication Update!
Posted on: June 4, 2025, at 06:45:38am

So, as you may know by now, I started writing my debut novel on March 14th of this year. We are now entering the third month of this project, and we are just about ready for professional edits and publication. I've hit a few snags along the way, such as a rude beta reader who tried hijacking my novel and trying to get me to make it fit her wants and needs instead of letting me write for myself, and almost quitting multiple times. I let this person affect me for a while, and I even started writing a version that just wasn't me or my vision, and it made me miserable. I finally said fuck it, I'm not doing this for her, I"m doing this for me and reverted to my original. Edits are now going smoothly. I was going to push everything back to October 19th for publication because I thought I was going to have to revamp the whole book, but since I no longer have to, I will be publishing on my birthday, September 19th! I couldn't be more excited. To help with the overwhelming sadness I'm sure to feel after publishing such an important piece of work, I'll be working on book two in my series. I told myself that 2025 was going to be my year, and it honestly has been so far. It can only go up from here! I can't wait to see what 2026 holds for my writing career (I say this only because I won't publish again until 2026)! I'll be exiting this year as a published author, which is a serious dream come true! I've been dreaming of this day since I was a little girl, and now I've made my dream happen!
