This is a cool take! I DO want my book to be published some way, down some avenue, but I struggle with the mindset to treat it like a hobby rather than something that must be perfect. I'll keep your points in mind for motivation!
Good! I'm glad to hear it! It can feel soooo overwhelming when we think about publishing that it can actually get in the way of our writing. You've got this!!
What's your process for selecting which story to pursue? Do you come up with many, and select one after "walking the path" with a few of them, refining them etc.?
That's a great question! To be totally honesty, I sometimes will have two or three projects going at a time. However, I'd recommend going with the story you can map out from beginning to end, even if it is just a super simple outline. But don't ever feel afraid to write down ideas for other projects as they come to you!
@@annakwiatek-kucharska9858 having so many ideas can be rough because there's just not enough time in the year to address all of them. Since some of them link together, I would highly recommend writing an outline for your story. But more importantly, I would flesh out your main character since whatever story you end up writing will revolve around and be dictated by them.
Good food for thought 🤙
My lord I adore you, your encouragement, your energy, and your humor❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! I adore you too!!

my question exactly! I have like 20 ideas, some linked to one another and after some time none seems like much fun to write anymore :(

Wellllll... we could always start you writing a short story and go from there 😉
@ Would you be my writing coach, if I did? 😏
