Dear Thursday,
I'm really loving werewolves today.
I edited a chapter today and noticed how Eva is growing in her own skin. How she is getting stronger as a creature and a vampire. The people in her life are mainly strong women with cool personalities. Sometimes I think miss these creature if I don't work on my books for a while. I like most of them. Not so much the bad guys. They piss me off. They're annoying and dangerous. Although Eva and her gang are dangerous too.
When I think of them compared to humans, I see the fragility of a human life and the brief time we have on this blue planet. I'm so glad that I'm a writer. I love creating a whole new world and controlling the characters in it. Sometimes it seems like they have a life of their own.
I don't think I could ever not write. My writing journey started with poetry, song writing and short stories. Then I got super inspired to write my first book. Moth isn't my first book, but my second. A natural transition to this deep, dangerous cool world of creatures. I still write poetry, a song here and there and short stories.
I started a side project. It may be a short story or a novel. It's not going to be a fantasy novel. I feel like it's going in the direction of women's fiction. I'll leave it at that for now.
I've watched a video that really inspired me today.
Here's the link.

I hope you get something from it.
Good night.

It's Tough
Dear Tuesday,
This is an inspo post.
Hemingway said,
"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
I'm sure he had other tips, but this is one of his famous sayings. I could quote all day, but I won't.
If you're writing a novel and working full time, keep going. This is really tough. The evenings are tough. There are distractions, you get hungry, you have to shower, sleep, etc …
The weekends are more fun. You have more time to write and create great ideas. However, the distractions are endless. Chores, food, hygiene, exercise and entertainment. I have replaced most of these things with podcasts, books and audio books, especially while I'm writing. I mean, I still eat, shower and remind myself to do those chores a million times. That's why they're called chores. Right? So boring!
Anyway, if you're a full time writer, CONGRATULATIONS! You are where we want to be. A success at writing down lies, I mean stories. Then those chores can be handed over to someone else. Joking! I do enjoy hoovering. Really. Those dusty corners.
I love writing. Especially fantasy. I'm hoping to complete all 3 books this year. So doable. Yeah. I know. It's tough. A solo journey. The lone wolf. Never stop. Keep going. Even if the laundry is high as a skyscraper.
Here's a quote that's more inspiring than Hemingway's.
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you."

Love Is Love
Dear Saturday,
You were great.
Today was pride. I managed to take loads of pics. Here are a few I want to share with you.
Mindvalley Talks:
You probably heard of Jay Shetty. He's one of my favourite people on the internet. I love watching his content on Instagram and YouTube. I just watched him being interviewed by Vishen on Mindvalley Talks. The video is called The Mind of Jay Shetty: An Interview with Vishen Lakhiani.
I find him really inspiring and motivates me to keep working on myself. There's no point in me telling you what he said. Here's the link:

I'm going to leave you for now, until tomorrow.

Entertainment:
Today is one of those nights where I need to chill out. So I started to watch a series on Prime called The Boys. It's amazing. I haven't finished watching it. 7 super heroes are signed up to this company that make them big and popular, with an agenda behind it. It's not all innocent. I think you'll like. The underdog is almost an anti super hero. Try it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Hard Days
Dear Friday,
You were alright.
I'm listening to UB40 while writing this so it's seriously chilling me out.
Work:
The morning started out great until it didn't. It was challenging at work today. Somehow, I managed to get through it. It ended a lot better than it started.
Writing/Editing:
I edited 3 chapters today. 1 more than yesterday and 2 more than the day before yesterday. Yeay! I'm trucking a long a little faster this week. It does seem like it's forever to finish editing it. Aiming at finishing editing Sisters of the Moon this weekend. I can't wait. Also, I'm starting to love the journey. Writing Keepers of the Crypt makes me feel like this whole era, trilogy is coming to an end. I'm looking forward to writing my next book. I'm really excited about it.
Reading:
I read most of the 5AM Club by Robin Sharma. I'm really excited to finish it and tell you all about it. I'm going to tell you how it has helped me in a separate blog. There is so much valuable info in that book. I was surprised.
I got a new book recently. I was inspired by a couple of videos that I saw that had Emily Fletcher in it. You might recognise her name from other blog posts. The book is called Stress Less, Accomplish More. Looking at it makes me feel really excited to read it. It's mainly about meditation and how it can improve performance and other good stuff about it. I'll also tell you what I think about it and how it has affected me in a separate blog.
Anyway, I started this blog a little tonight so I'm going to bed. Sleep well.

Follow Your Dreams
Dear Thursday,
Today you were amazing.
I had an excellent day. Something changed between last night and this morning. I felt blissful, optimistic and extremely positive. I'm going to change the layout of the blog today. As a writer, I wanted to tell you the realness of it. Confessions and all.
You probably heard this before. People say it a lot. Follow your dreams. Achieve your goals. Never give up. Keep going. It's true. Why would you want to slog away every day at work then slump down to whatever Netflix had for you to watch?
Something to live for. Hope. Expectations and the glimmer of a better life.
Follow your dreams. Never give up.
I'm writing this after editing 2 chapters. It doesn't seem like much, but compared to the last few days, that's 1 more chapter. A step forward. Hopefully in the right direction.

I'm writing this after editing 2 chapters. It doesn't seem like much, but compared to the last few days, that's 1 more chapter. A step forward. Hopefully in the right direction.
In this notebook, I give myself a goal that I try to meet. A number of chapters to edit and I try to achieve it. I would say at first I did really well, then nothing. I reminded myself about my goals and ambitions. From that day, any extra chapter I did was a bonus. Another step forward towards my dream.
What is your dream?
If you're a writer like me, it's important to keep track of your accomplishments. One foot in front of another. A step closer to your dream.
I hope today's blog has helped you in any way to get you moving towards your life's ambitions. You dream, because nobody is going to do it for you.
Good Night.
Wonder Woman.
