still on cloud nine โ˜๏ธโ˜๏ธ from last night (and will be for a while) This was my first official event as an author, moderating for the amazing @heyashposton and chatting about her new book, The Someday Garden! ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒผ To meet and spend time with a favorite author - someone who inspires me tremendously - was a dream come true! Ashley is so warm, generous, and kind. I will be forever thankful to her for giving me this lifelong memory! Thanks to @lit.actually and @crazydaisiesflowers for a fantastic (and GORGEOUS) event. And to the 250 friends in the book community who came out last night! I loved meeting you!! ๐Ÿฉท #romanceauthor #authorevent #romancebooks #romancebookstagram #romancereader by @katiejungwrites

Hereโ€™s the honest truthโ€ฆwriting a book takes a LOT internally (perseverance, creativity, ambition), but thereโ€™s also a lot of *stuff* you simply donโ€™t need. Donโ€™t wait until you have everything you think you need to start writing. Just start! Then keep going! ๐Ÿฉท #authoradvice #writingadvice #writingabook #writinganovel #authorso๏ฌnstagram deinfluence you author edition, writing advice, author advice, writing a book, writing a novel by @katiejungwrites
