    Sometimes, you can have some mood, not motivated, tired, or you just feel like. It happens, we are human after all. Well, you did progress. Just need to look back when you wrote your first word now. Even if it is just a tiny winy bit. It is still something 😀 And if I may. What are you writing about? Besides, that keep it up.

      YA Fantasy. I’ve been very influenced and inspired by Brandon Sanderson–both his writing, worldbuilding, and characters as well as his lecture series on writing Sci-Fi & Fantasy.

          Aw, thanks dude! It’ll be a while for me. I’m still only about 80% through my first draft, and I know I’m in for some extensive rewrites and edits in the coming months/years. But I’ll share it when I’m finished!
