From Blank Page to Bookshelf

Welcome to the chaos. This is where I spill everything about writing my first book. The panic, the revisions, the impostor syndrome, and yes, the fact that I set it underwater because I apparently hate myself. Expect honest posts about hiring editors, surviving beta readers, designing covers, and navigating the publishing maze. The highs, the lows, and all the self-doubt in between. Full disclosure: I'm not a trained writer. I'm just stubborn enough to finish. So stop by weekly—I'll be posting, and I might be hitting you up for your two cents along the way.
