I really thought I'd be further along by now. 😂 My fantasy book has taken longer than I originally planned. And you know what? I'm learning to be okay with that. ❤️ I'm learning from my characters. ❤️ I'm figuring out what works for me as a writer. ✍️ ❤️ I'm running The Storyteller's Path. ❤️ I'm spending time with my family. ❤️ I'm living my life. ❤️ And I'm still writing. 📖 That's something I've had to remind myself of. A writing journey doesn't have to look perfect to be real. I'm learning things through writing my own book that also help me understand the writers I work with in completely different ways. So I'm not rushing this experience away. I'm living it. Learning from it. And continuing to write. ✍️ Now I want to hear about YOUR journey. Has your book taken longer than you originally expected? What has the journey taught you? Share it in the comments! 👇
