@ajsaxsma: For a long time I struggled with how to write a novel in a way that worked for me. Now I approach a story like a stunt performer. #howtowriteanovel #writinganovel #novelwriting #writingtips

It so fascinating to hear about other people’s processes 😄 I’m a full om discovery writer, I have a vague idea of where I want things to go, maybe som bullet points. I also keep a document on every project where I jot down random ideas for that story. Just finished the first draft of one book and I’m 10k words into another book 😊 I’m a sucker for editing though and this draft is basically my outline 🤭

💯💯💯 I’ve been planning on my novel for over 10 years… And now that I have completed one reeeeally shitty first draft, I am working on it all over again and actually figuring out what I want to look like in practice

Plus one on this. Rehearsals are not separate from performance.

That is why I started not just a novel, but a series 🤣 so I can write the other ideas to book 2 and 3. I have ADHD so plotting and outlining too much is hyperfocus lost. But I can tell you; editing will be horrible 🤣

There comes a moment in life when you finally realize that you cannot keep living in the shadows of other people’s expectations. You notice how much of yourself you gave away just to keep the peace, how many dreams you silenced so no one would call them unrealistic, how often you chose quiet suffering over disappointing someone. And then it hits you. This is not living. This is surviving on minimum light. So you start to take yourself back piece by piece. You learn to say no without apologizing, you stop letting people rewrite your story, and you understand that outgrowing someone is not cruelty, it is self-respect. Life becomes different when you choose yourself. It becomes clearer, slower, more honest. You begin to hear your own voice again, the one you buried under fear and approval. And the beautiful truth is this: You were never meant to be a background character in a life you are supposed to lead. Your soul was always asking for more space, more truth, more freedom. This is your reminder. Take your life back. Not in anger, not in rebellion, but in quiet clarity. Because you deserve to live a life that feels like yours, not one that feels like a cage built by others. #aesthetics #aesthetics #fovlife #aesthetic
