This year was full of plot twists...
“You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.”
–Sarah J. Maas
Hey, lovely Bookstagram fam!
This year has been a rollercoaster of plot twists, ups and downs, and facing more fears than I thought I had! Life threw curveballs at me, and honestly, I've felt like my neck could've presented a permanent sprain with all these sudden turns.
I know I've been MIA, and guilt-tripping myself for not being the Bookstagram account I aspired to be. But you know what? Everything happens for a reason. This year, I embarked on a journey to fulfill a dream I've had since I was 6 – writing my own book.
I spent months of battling imposter syndrome with every keystroke, but guess what? I finished my first draft! Sure, there's a ton of work ahead – editing, figuring out the mystical world of publishing – but I'm ready to delve into that world AND share it with you. No more hiding behind "what will they say," "Is my writing 'good'?" or "maybe it's a mistake."
I want to write so many things about this year, about my book, but... one step at a time, I'm still struggling to learn how to share, but I promise I will show more of the process of how this book comes to life without overflowing your feed. I PROMISE!!
I'm beyond happy to finally be able to shout from the rooftops and share with all of you this great dream.
During this year, I faced many of my fears, overcame some of my shadows, and wrote something. It wasn't all rainbows and unicorns – there were many tears and moments I doubted myself, but I flipped a vulgar gesture to those fears.
Huge thanks to ALL of you for making this crazy year bearable, for sharing smiles, and for ranting over books together. You've been my rock and my Valkyries.
I'm wishing everyone a lovely Christmas and New Year!
May our TBRs multiply like rabbits (fingers crossed mine makes the cut, hehe).
With love,
Gal
