I am a writer who loves diving into the depths of worldbuilding and creative design. From magical worlds to the chilling thrills that lurk at night. Writing is a beautiful escape with all sorts of twists, turns, tears, and love. I also have the supernatural ability to turn any book or plot into a series.With a cuddle bug of a cat, Darwin, the world of writing is only a few hundred notebooks and plots away. I love to weave worlds made within the Fantasy and the Paranormal. And then at night, the scary things come to play with the Horror and Thrillers that will keep you up. Join me this year in the worlds in which ensnare you within their web!I'm looking to really buckle down and do some hard writing this year. I have some large goals, but that makes it all the better with a great team here at WRIYE.A very dear friend of mine asked me:
"Why do you write?" And my answer left me so breathless because it reminded me why I started writing in the first place. So I turned my answer into a beautiful quote that I will always see, on here or on NaNo, or even on my website...
 Socials
Published Novels
Elemental Reign: Neophyte [Season One]
Emissary of Magic [Season One]
Redemption Duology
Treason #1
Standalones
Song of the Nightingale Selene's Daughter (Vexa #1)
It's hard to set goals for me. It can be the added pressure that makes me not want to do it. This year I really want to change that with setting goals that I think will be worthwhile and not superficial. Each will mean something to me. I am working to combat a mindset and work towards finishing things as well as keeping with them.
The biggest goals this year focus on not just writing, but social media. I have struggled with marketing myself and so this year I will be focusing on developing that as much as I possibly can.WRITING ☐ Write 250,000 words ☐ Publish at least 4 books ☐ Maintain 4thewords streak for the year (authorash) ☐ Finish a Season of a Serial ☐ Achieve 5k day ☐ Achieve 7k day ☐ Achieve 10k day ☐ Achieve 15k day

Your thread looks amazing! Good luck with your goals! Social media is one of my goals too so I can start marketing myself early. So extra good luck with that. Do you have a preferred platform? I'll go follow you on it and support you from there too.

I'll go follow you on it and support you from there too. Thank you so much Tracey!! Social media is a super goal this coming year because I want to start taking my writing to the next level and getting a solid readership base. Thankfully my TikTok has really helped me to reach some amazing heights (to me). Marketing is hard but I think once I get into a routine, it'll be easier. Later in the years I'll prob work on figuring out the facebook ads and all that jazz. I prefer to use TikTok and Instagram, so you can choose whichever <3 I'll follow back if you let me know where and what username you are!

Goodbye 2020 - Last Time
I've been having thoughts and things. Celebrations and Epiphanies. Celebrating 2.5k followers on TikTok! Epiphanies about where I want to go in my life with writing. I want to make it something that I've dreamt about since I was so young. I've been thinking and planning of how to do this and thankfully a good friendof mine who is a Marketing Professional that also knows authors, was like 'I want to see you shine: do this' and gave me starting advice and is lowkey working on adding in things that I should be doing.
I've created a 27 (well in the process of making) grid for Instagram, which will be a plugin type of design. It's uniform with my website and I'm super happy with the geometric colors. She's starting me off with Insta marketing. <3
So this year I am ending on an epiphany and beginning a journey of happiness and gratitude.

I know everyone's already said it, but I am so jealous of your thread design. It's gorgeous.
And so many great goals, it inspired me to go back to my own thread and add a bit more to my list. I wish you luck in all of them!
