I’m currently writing my second book of 2021, and I have a lot of advice to give! Someone reached out asking for advice on how to overcome their inner perfectionist during the first draft—and my, oh my, do I have things to say! 😄

Now, the inner perfectionist is that icky voice in the back of your head telling you what you’re writing—all this work you’re putting on your story—is worthless because it isn’t perfect right now. And if something isn’t perfect right now, what’s the point?

Let Your Characters Surprise You

Writing a book is a daunting task, and a lot of aspiring writers cope by throwing themselves into brainstorming, doing character questionnaires, all in an attempt to “flesh out” their OCs.

You don’t need to know everything about your character before writing them—hell I seldom even know their full name before starting.

I’m on a mission to demystify the writing process! Writing doesn’t have to be hard, daunting, or scary. Let me show you the actual process of how I write every day in 3 simple steps! 💛

1. HYPE UP / Do you know how many days I wake up *not* feeling like writing? It happens all the time, that’s why I make it a point to start the session with some HYPE. I put on my book’s inspiration playlist, close my eyes, and imagine my characters being awesome!

This works wonders! This morning I legit fe...
