Anyone else experience despair between drafts? I’ve discovered it’s part of my process. Tangled in my starry optimism about this whole aspiring author thing, that my book(s) will be real and read and out there someday, is a deep, gnawing fear that it’ll never happen. My theory is that when I’m not actively working on the manuscript, my fears have a chance to bubble up and take over bc my mind is more idle than usual. Because I want to be published and have this career so badly, it actually hurts to think it might not happen. . Instead of wallowing (which sometimes is important, but I could tell would lead me down a bad mental health path today), I created a vision board to help soothe my creative anxieties (see stories). The exercise in dreaming and planning and mindfully examining what I really want has helped remind me this career isn’t out of my hands. It’s entirely up to me right now. I can either spend my time worrying or I can spent my time working. Today I choose work. . Do you ever vision board? Let me know your experience!👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #brimming #oaklandblogger #freelancewriter #amwriting #amediting #momswhowrite #writermom #amrevising #writerproblems #writerlife #writereadrepeat #wordboss #imwriting #novelwriter #writingabook #writinganovel #writersofig #lightsupbook #editthatdraft #writinglife #yafiction #yalit #writingblog #authorlife #writewithoutfear #writersfollowwriters #writingcommunity #writercommunity

Editing, am I right? 😭(NEW BLOG POST) . This weekend I actually made amazing, invigorating progress on my #wip for the first time in months. But most often during editing, I look like this bc the process is HARD. . I wrote a blog post (link in bio) with my most effective tips for revising the first draft that got me from crying over my computer in a coffee shop to dancing in my chair at how well it’s all coming together. If it helps just one other writer through the initial editing process I’ll be happy! . Give it a read and let me know what you do or would add? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 . . . . . . . . . #brimming #oaklandblogger #freelancewriter #discoverunder5k #amwriting #amediting #momswhowrite #writermom #amrevising #writerproblems #writerlife #writereadrepeat #wordboss #imwriting #novelwriter #writingabook #writinganovel #writersofig #lightsupbook #editthatdraft #writinglife #yafiction #yalit #writingblog #authorlife #writewithoutfear #writingtips #writingadvice

Mood 🌟From getting back into my teen MC’s head for my #wip , to creating a #moodboard for the story, things have been mighty moody this week! If you’ve watched my stories you know that creating a moodboard for my book has been an amazing creative exercise in establishing both the themes and navigating some of the roadblocks editing has brought up. If you’re stuck in the revision phase, I highly recommend you try a moodboard to shake things up. (Check out my stories highlights if you wanna know more about the process!) . Swipe 👉to see the moodboard I created for my book Lights Up 💡— a coming of age story about an aspiring playwright navigating love, theatre, and family strife. . What mood are you taking into the weekend, beauties? Me? Motivated 💪🏼 . . . . . . . . . . #brimming #oaklandblogger #bayareablogger #freelancewriter #discoverunder5k #amwriting #amediting #momswhowrite #writermom #amrevising #writerproblems #writerlife #writereadrepeat #wordboss #imwriting #novelwriter #writingabook #writinganovel #writersofig #lightsupbook #editthatdraft #writinglife #yafiction #yalit #writingblog #authorlife #writewithoutfear

A messy, quiet house. A rainy, pensive day. A writer with a full cup of tea and ideas. Let’s do this. . What’s filling up your cup today, beauties? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 . . . . . . . . #brimming #oaklandblogger #bayareablogger #freelancewriter #mamawriter #discoverunder5k #amwriting #amediting #momswhowrite #writermom #amrevising #writerproblems #writerlife #writereadrepeat #wordboss #imwriting #novelwriter #writingabook #writinganovel #writersofig #lightsupbook #finishthatdraft #writinglife #yafiction #yalit #writingblog #authorlife #yawriter

Find your feet ❄️ I have a tendency to live in my head, live in the clouds of my characters, my fantasies, my dreams. I absolutely need to do this as a writer, but my 2019 intention is to stay grounded throughout this floating. To never float so far, I forget to do the work that is necessary to not only dream, but achieve. . We can all get swept up in life’s current, but I’m committing to finding the quiet spaces, the moment under a tree in a snowstorm, to connect with myself and find my feet. To stay grounded in love, to stay focused on the process instead of the result, and to lock in to my motivation to get this book done. Whenever I feel too floaty or off-kilter, I’m going to repeat this phrase like a mantra this year: Find your feet. . May you find your feet wherever this year takes you, beauties. Have you set an intention for the year? I’d love to hear it! 💕 . . . . . . . . . . . . #brimming #oaklandblogger #bayareablogger #freelancewriter #mamawriter #discoverunder5k #amwriting #amediting #momswhowrite #writermom #amrevising #writerproblems #writerlife #writereadrepeat #wordboss #imwriting #novelwriter #writingabook #writinganovel #writersofig #lightsupbook #editthatdraft #writinglife #yafiction #yalit #writingblog #authorlife #authorschallenge2019 #laketahoe #mentalhealthnatters

Who am I? Jumping into the #authorschallenge2019 to say 👋🏻👋🏻 I’m Eva, a writer formerly known as terrified to say that out loud. I spent all of 2018 asserting and developing my identity as a writer after years of uncertainty and fear that the stories I wrote “didn’t count”. Now, as I’m rounding the corner into my 4th draft of my YA novel, I can’t even remember what that fear feels like. Sure I still feel uncertainty about the *writing*, but never again about the fact that I’m a *writer*. Its pretty dang cool. Get ready for a lot of writing updates this year and thanks for following my journey! I can’t wait to see where we all write ourselves next in 2019 💪🏼🥂🎉 . . . . . . . . . #brimming #oaklandblogger #bayareablogger #freelancewriter #mamawriter #discoverunder5k #amwriting #amediting #momswhowrite #writermom #amrevising #writerproblems #writerlife #writereadrepeat #wordboss #imwriting #novelwriter #writingabook #writinganovel #writersofig #lightsupbook #editthatdraft #writinglife #yafiction #yalit #writingblog #authorlife #authorsofinstagram
