Let’s Write a Novel ⭐️ Day 1 (2,084/70K)
Back to writing, baybeee~ 🌻☀️
The goal is to write book 3 of #TheFabulousGays!

The best piece of advice I can give you for planning your novel is this:
Don’t stress out about having all the answers.You have time to figure things out. Writing a book takes a long time. Ideas will come to you. Honestly, I get my best ideas while I’m washing dishes~

Working on a word tracker for this book I’ll be starting very, very soon~ ✍️🌱
Today I could hear the siren song of “Let’s Wait Until You Feel That You Are Super Duper Ready to Write” and I took that as a sign to just wrap everything up (this tracker being the very last item on the list) so I can just get started writing tomorrow morning~
