NOVEMBER WRITING DIARIES 📖🍂✍🏻| EP. 4: WEEK 3 | a chatty writing update & new goals! 📉🕯️☕️✨

after a brief pause (the last few days were chaotic), we are officially back for the third week of the november writing challenge, where i set out to write 50,000 words in my debut fantasy novel, while balancing a 9-5 corporate job with my writing journey. three steps forward, two steps back was very much the theme this week. today we're chatting fluctuating creativity and adjusting goals to meet our needs.
✨ PROJECT STARGAZER - a triple POV portal fantasy about a college student who can walk between worlds, a reluctant spare turned heir to a hidden kingdom, and a guy who wants nothing to do with either of them. It has magic inspired by the stars and a non-love triangle romance subplot (which is my personal favourite)!

The time of death comment really made me laugh 😅 but shifting your perspective is so important when it comes to being realistic about your expectations for yourself. Proud of you, and it seems like you’re making progress regardless! 🕯️

I forever live the dilemma of wanting to get my nails done but knowing I'll have a hard time typing with them 😅 loved this vlog, so cozy! 🕯🕯

[@emilyhthompson]

@@thewriterssoundtrack right?! short nails only for the foreseeable future! thank you so much! ☺️

[@76kilosofshade81]

i hope you have a productive December and get to your end goal. I think it's really important for us creatives to be willing to adjust our goals, especially when writing/art isn't our full-time job.

[@emilyhthompson]

@@76kilosofshade81 thank you so much! couldn't agree more!

[@annaverabooks]

I totally know what you mean about long nails! 😅 I NEVER do my nails (and I probably should as my hands are frighteningly manly, but oh well 😂) because I can’t stand the way they interfere with typing! Sigh. Anyway, loved the video! Keep them coming ❤

[@emilyhthompson]

@@annaverabooks I was ready to rip them off after 2 days 😂 thank you so much, Anna! 🫶🏻 noted, will do 🫡
