the time has come… 🪻 FINALLY starting to draft my novel! 🪻

it’s only been, uh… seven months since i started brainstorming this thing?? and am i truly ready to begin drafting?? no! but that’s almost exactly why i’m doing it anyway, or at least that’s what i’m telling myself when in reality i’m just feeling impatient and some FOMO as i watch other writers work on their drafts 😬 tag along as i flounder about trying to find some footing after not writing anything for months! 📝 about me: my name is mardi, but you can also call me pige (they/them). i am an aspiring author within a variety of genres, but my current active WIP is nicknamed Project Hyacinth, an adult cyberpunk novel with intrigue, a little romance, and themes surrounding humanity and finding hope amidst grey morality and corporate greed. #authortube #writingcommunity #aspiringauthor 📺 writers watched/mentioned in this video: emily thompson sophie von ahn writewithjoy 💌 let’s get in touch! writing instagram: m.k.wrobel art instagram: sewerpigeonart twitter: mkwrobelwrites bluesky: sewerpigeon fable: sewerpigeon ☕ buy me a coffee! https://ko-fi.com/sewerpigeon 🎥 Filmed and edited on iPad Pro (2018) using InShot 🎶 Music tracks from freetouse.com/music : 1. daydream — massobeats 2.
