Writing Love (Told by Megamind)

Hey everyone! So I totally spaced on a post last Friday and... I may space again since me and my brother are going down to Kentucky for the weekend. Besides my reading has gone down considerably since the beginning of the year. My TBR went from a waterfall to a trickle and now I'm scrambling to find other books to read.

I've seen a lot of posts about complaining about writing. The woes of writing and such. And yes there are a lot of hard things about writing but sometimes you just feel on top of the world when you write. Sometimes your book is just the best thing in the world for you. Your characters are actually cooperating for once (shocker!), your worldbuilding is superb and your plot is to die for.

So here you go. Gifs to explain the awesomeness of writing because I love to write. I love to complain about writing but I also love gushing about the pure awesomeness of writing too.

                                                         Finishing a first draft.

Because after that agonizing first draft you just need to celebrate because you did it and it might look a little awful but it's also one step closer to awesomeness.


                                           When your OTP is actually perfect and to die for.

They are just too cute together and you can't stop freaking out over your own characters!


                             When you can't get over all the evil stuff your doing to your characters.

When your doing all the evil things!


              Those times when your writing is just flowing and your on a complete writing roll.

(This one was a little bit of a cheat. I couldn't find the gif I wanted for this one.) But when you feel unstoppable as you write away.


                                        When you just love your protagonist so much it hurts.

And he/she really is.


           Sitting back and admiring all your hard work and actually being kind of happy with it all.

Awww that one moment before your inner editor destroys everything.
                                            
                                                 Feeling relaxed as you plot away.

Ahhh, that moment when your brain is actually letting you plot.
So I think this post is officially my favorite. I love this and I think I did great (if I do say so myself). And Megamind? Probably the only movie I could quote all the way through.

But yeah so enjoy and don't forget to pat yourself on the back because you finished that first draft/that first chapter/even that first sentence. You all are great and amazing writers and don't ever forget all the benefits of being a writer. When you feel down or like a horrible writing and like your book will never go anywhere just remember all the awesome parts of being a writer. All those moments when you feel on top of the world and like the best writer the world has ever known. Be as confidant and cocky as Megamind because you are awesome!

What are your favorite parts of being a writer? What are you writing right now?

Cover Reveal: Golden Touch!!

 Happy Tuesday!!  Today's the day! I turn 23 and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to share the cover for Golden Touch! I think this is by far my favorite cover my mom has ever done. It's crazy to think that this time last year Golden Touch was still just a first draft and I was in the middle of writing book 2 of the series. A defining part of my twenty-second year will always be having revised Golden Touch and written almost the entire Archive Series. And now I get to open up my twenty-third year with sharing the cover and writing book the first draft of book 5, the very last book in the series. God is so good guys. I really think He gave me Golden Touch and this whole series a few months before the events of 2020 started. He gave me a story I could get lost in, I could find joy in even during some of the hardest times of the year. And now I get to share the cover and I get to close out the series and I just pray and hope that God will use Golden Touch and

How to Revise like a Pantser ft. Big Hero 6 Gifs

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you've had a great week so far and that you have a great Easter weekend ahead! We plan on going to my grandparent's on Friday to celebrate Easter with family and spending the night there so that'll be a fun time. :) Alright, so I contemplated doing an Easter-y post on here but I wasn't even sure what that would look like... So instead, I thought I'd do something fun and happy in honor of the celebration of Easter on Sunday. Without further ado, here is your Big Hero 6 gif filled revising process from a real life pantser: The end of your first draft is in sight! You type like crazy, stay up past your normal bedtime until it is finished. When you type The End, the satisfaction that you actually did this thing sets in. Guys, it is the sweetest feeling ever. Knowing you worked so hard to complete this draft and came out on the other side. Unscathed? Perhaps not. But triumphant? Definitely! That first draft is a total disast

Friday in Review: May Monthly Wrap-Up

Happy Wednesday once more everyone! I hope you've all had a great May. May has been full of lots of life stuff and writerly stuff and reading. I am so excited to share it with you all (along with an awesome new thing I'm doing for next month on here)! May Writing: May was full of lots of writing... Like lots. I finished draft four of The Lost Ones, came up with the name The Lost Ones and finished editing draft five. Now comes the hard work of plugging in all those changes and edits into my Word doc. Oh the joys of writing... ;) But for real, I am so excited that I finished the read through for TLO and I am even more excited to finish this draft so I can get it ready for betas. This month I also planned out the series... I've never planned out a series ever. I'm a pantser so what do I do? I make life hard for myself by winging not only my novels but entire series too. That whole not planning thing? It didn't work for me and since I'm wanting to take myself m
