My "Fahy October" ran a bit over thanks to lots of unanticipated things that ate away at my reading time, but I loved every minute I got to spend in Erlking Hall and the Netherworlde. This was a five-star read, so if you love fantasy, definitely add this to your TBR! Looking forward to reading the next one, @jamesfahyauthor, which I've added to my 2020 TBR! 💖 #bookstagram #authorswhobookstagram #authorssupportingauthors #amreading #booknerd #readersofinstagram
And here we are watching the sun set on another year. It was a big one for so many of us here in the Instagram writing community. Lots of first drafts finished, revisions tackled, and edits completed. Some pitched their novels or sent out queries. Books were launched, audio books released, workshops attended, book signings achieved. Many of us participated in NaNoWriMo in November, and whether we won or not, what a month! We have SO MUCH to be proud of this past year, and I have enjoyed following each and every one of you on your journeys so far. 💖 I failed to reach (or even approach) my big goal for the year, which was to get my second book out. But I tackled a major overhaul, and I also won my 10th consecutive NaNoWriMo and with it put my 10th novel first-draft on my WIP shelf. 🥳 I wish you all an amazing December and the best of luck as we sprint toward tackling our last minute goals of 2019. What's one thing you're still hoping to achieve before we ring in the new year? #indieauthor #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofinsta #writersofig
