2025: I got back into reading and writing!

I did it!!!🥹

It might seem like nothing to someone but for me, it’s a breakthrough.

1) Goal was: to write a short story and have it published in a respected magazine.✅✅✅

I wrote a short story and got it approved in a literary magazine from the 500 Best! Still waiting for my publication date, cannot wait to share✍🏼
Huge milestone for me!!! I needed to show myself I can actually finish a writing piece, and good enough for a great magazine to want to have it. Grateful!

2) Goal was: to decide on the debut novel and writing a shitty first draft.✅✅✅

Even though I didn’t finish the draft, I consider this goal accomplished. I came up with my debut novel idea and wrote over 17,000K words so far and hoping to finish my draft in the new year. I cannot believe how far I’ve come.

3) Make writing a daily habit.

Even though it didn’t become the actual habit, I finally fought my perfectionism and allowed myself to write after 10 years of doubts and struggle. I’ve missed it so much and I believe it’s only the beginning.

3) Goal was: to read 1 book/month.✅✅✅

I read 12 books in 2025!

For me, 2025 turned out wonderful. Time to make wishes and goals for 2026🤍

If you didn’t know, I have a Substack letter🥹 where I post my raw thoughts and first draft writing process insights.

The other day, I wrote about autumn. There’s nothing like autumn for me. Also talked about first writing milestones.

Anyways, would love to see you there. Welcome🍂☕️
