I love this quote. How much time I've wasted worrying about the past... . I have wasted time worrying about how I've wasted time! Madness! . With this baby on the way now I'm only looking forward 😊 I haven't written in a while, I think I've hit the nesting phase BUT I'm hoping to get baby prep out of the way so I can write before she arrives! . How is everyone else's writing coming?? . #bookstagram #books #book #booklover #bookworm #reading #bookish #instabook #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #read #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #booklove #booksofinstagram #igreads #instabooks #bookblogger #reader #booklovers #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #bookmark #cslewis #bookquote What questions do you ask yourself as you write? . A while back I hit a spot where I looked at my story and thought "so... what's the point of this?" as I revised, edited and worked on world building. I think we've all been there, when we take a step back and just sort of frown at our own work. . Last time that happened I turned to the books I loved to read and asked myself "well, why do you love these stories?" and as I pondered them and then glanced back at the story in my head I found myself asking these two questions: . What is the reason.. Where is the wonder.. . The reason the characters are doing their thing and the wonder of the world the story is in. If both are compelling it's bound to be a story I love. Fantasy and Sci Fi are my favorites, worlds beyond my own and the quests that happen within them. . So I wrote these two questions out on a post it and it's hanging off my dashboard right below my monitor, in front of my face. It's like having a little helper constantly reminding me what's important and it's made such a difference. . #bookstagram #books #book #booklover #bookworm #reading #bookish #instabook #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #read #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #booklove #booksofinstagram #igreads #instabooks #bookblogger #reader #booklovers #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writerlife #amwriting #amwritingfantasy I don't know about you but I never feel as complete as I do when I'm actively working on my book. . Sometimes it's not always fun, but it still beats the times when I'm stuck, unable to move forward and I feel like I'm missing something or wasting time. . I think I discovered a missing piece to my story last night... and I thought I had everything figured out. It's not a huge change and it doesn't require a total revamp BUT it's sparked new excitement and I'm really looking forward to putting in some work! . How is everyone else's WIP coming along? Excited? Stuck? Waging war against the narrative?? . #bookstagram #books #book #booklover #bookworm #reading #bookish #instabook #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #read #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #booklove #booksofinstagram #igreads #instabooks #bookblogger #reader #booklovers #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram #amwritingfantasy #amwriting #writingcommunity Well, it's Monday. . I do not fear Mondays, how about you? . I've made my coffee, it's decaf but whatever, I've put it in my pretty mug, I opened the window to watch the rain and I went straight to work on my 4th draft. . Writing update: Yesterday and today I'm looking, with fresh eyes, at my outline, asking myself questions about events and the design of the story. I'm determined to be as organized as possible before beginning the revision of the narrative. It's my first time employing the aid of an outline so I intend to get the full use of the thing. . Time is creeping up on me and my husband. I'm getting more rotund and pregnant by the day, this baby is getting stronger and we have much to do before she arrives. I still have my writing goal of finishing the 4th draft before she comes... But it will require intention annnnnd discipline. . What are you preparing for this Monday? . #mondaymotivation #coffeemonday #bookstagram #books #book #booklover #bookworm #reading #bookish #instabook #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookaddict #read #bookaholic #bookshelf #bookphotography #booklove #booksofinstagram #igreads #instabooks #bookblogger #reader #booklovers #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram
