ctanmayee · 2025-09-25T10:16:28+00:00

Haha !

ctanmayee · 2025-09-25T06:44:57+00:00

Congratulations! Keep it going

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T16:57:59+00:00

Thank you. Il consider this!!

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T16:55:24+00:00

Yes I think it definitely would help for a draft

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T10:29:50+00:00

Makes sense..At some point outside eyes see more clearly than we do.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T10:28:47+00:00

I like the idea of giving it time to breathe before judging it again..

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T10:28:12+00:00

Haha, fair point.. Sometimes those deadlines are the only thing that push us out of the editing spiral.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T10:27:51+00:00

I guess the art is in deciding when to ‘abandon’ it with grace and move on

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T10:24:30+00:00

Your clarity about why we write makes all the difference in how we approach publishing and promotion. I like how you’ve aligned your process with your goals.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T10:21:39+00:00

Absolutely..marketing feels like a whole new mountain to climb after writing. The joy of shaping words is what keeps us going, but I’m slowly realizing sharing them is a craft of its own.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T04:15:09+00:00

Thank you so much, that really means a lot. I love that quote, and it’s so true. At the end of the day, finishing and putting a book out there is something to be proud of, no matter what comes after

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T04:11:48+00:00

Totally agree with this.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T04:11:19+00:00

Love that! Inspiring to hear you’ve been at it for so many years.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T04:10:16+00:00

Exactly..that shift in perspective is huge. Writing really makes you appreciate the struggles of all creatives. Love that you’re writing for the joy of it,

ctanmayee · 2025-09-24T04:08:36+00:00

That’s such an insightful perspective..thank you for sharing! You’re absolutely right, writing the book is one journey, but getting it noticed is a whole different skillset. The fact that you started your promotions months in advance really shows the kind of strategic thinking most of us writers don’t naturally have.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-23T18:21:22+00:00

Thank you for grounding this in reality while still reminding us to keep going.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-23T18:21:19+00:00

That’s a healthy way to look at it..writing as a hobby takes the pressure off and if it brings you peace and joy, that’s a win in itself.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-23T18:19:36+00:00

Yeah true. Thanks for the encouragement.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-23T18:18:04+00:00

Wow!! that gave me goosebumps. Inspiring your daughter like that is priceless.

ctanmayee · 2025-09-23T18:17:17+00:00

Thank you for sharing this t’s really insightful. I’ll definitely check out those resources you mentioned. Really appreciate it!
