READING MY OLD WRITING 🥴 // my first *failed* book & an abandoned project from 2017

[@lendralit1174]

You have a great way with words! Going by your old writing, I think HoE will really shine. 🌟 And good job with reading, lol! The tone of my voice goes so up and down when I'm trying to read out loud. Nerves, I guess!

@@lendralit1174 Thank you!! You are too kind. And I know, reading out loud can be so intimidating! It’s a little easier when it’s to a camera and not people haha😂

You revisiting old projects inspired me to open up an old travel binder where I have pieces dating back to 2003! 😮 It was so fun to reminisce! 😊 I might even have to pick a few back up.

[@andesears]

That is so fun!! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sunflower8931]

Your writing is so beautiful, even though you say it's your "old work", implying that you can do better. I can tell you're a really talented writer!

[@andesears]

thank you so much!!

[@CaeliFaye]

looking back on old lines you’ve written like 🤨 and remembering feeling like hemingway at the time of writing it is so relatable😭 also, plenty of guys i know 100% size up the guys they see on the street when passing by, so i wouldn’t be too hard on your 16 y/o self

[@andesears]

@@CaeliFaye Bahaha, thank you for the affirmation lol. Yes, everything you write at 16 feels absolutely ground breaking!

I like project joy. It could be fantastic even as a short story

[@andesears]

@@sushi8394 thank you!

Love this! It was so cool to hear you read your writing. After hearing these snippets, I’m super excited to read a full novel of yours! You have such a gift! My kids are so talented. 😊

[@andesears]

@@juliesears5515 Aww thank you!! I’m so glad you liked it!

[@KaitlinRochelleCreative]

oo! It's giving main character: messy bun, red hair, TAN. Love this idea! Will promptly be stealing for the future ;)

[@LettySharpeWrites]

Love the line about replacing the lock on his mother's lips with a harder blow. Great metaphor!

[@andesears]

@@LettySharpeWrites Thank you!!!

[@liagracewrites]
