Born in a Kingdom where witches are hunted to near extinction and magic is reserved for trained sorcerers, Calla accidentally kills a man with magic she didn’t know she had. Now she must learn to control her power in order to save magic and fight for the survival of all witches.

I had the genius idea to start drafting another, completely different book and now I have to switch between 3rd person past tense and 1st person present tense all the time and my brain can't handle this🥲 #drafting #writing #author #WritingCommunity

Coffee dates and writing sprints ❤️

Epiphany of the year: my neurodivergent brain vibes HARRRD with hard techno🤯🤯 Quite the surprise for this heavy metal girl but loving every second of this hardcore focus it's giving me #Neurodivergent #Neurodiversity #ADD #hardtechno

Coffees dates with a good book 😍 Because reading is just as important as writing. Or like the master himself said: If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write.

Woohoo 20k in 13 days 🥳🥳 That deserves a little celebration tomorrow. Now the reward is sleep 😅

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

That glorious feeling of getting so deep inside your character's head that words start pouring out and your fingers can barely keep up. 🙌 YASS QUEEN SLAY 🙌#writing #drafting #AuthorsOfTwitter #booktok

Week 2 update: Slowed down considerably compared to week 1. Wordcount is way down due to some personal stuff. Inspiration is still there though. These characters and this world are getting more precious with each paragraph I write. Onwards! #writing #drafting #authorcommunity

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

@RachFarrimond THANKS ☺️ I didn't start out this way, though. I used to stare at an empty page for hours and be happy to get 3k a week. Trust the process!

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

Say what?! 10k in 6 days, and the night is still young here 🥳 What an amazing start for this new draft and I can't wait to see how far I can get in the next 6 weeks. #writing #writingcommunity #author #authorsoftwitter #drafting

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

Drafting again! It's time for book #3 to get done. Spending 7 weeks in Thailand, can I get it done? Stay tuned 😁 #amwriting #amdrafting #writersoftwitter #writing #AuthorsOfTwitter #WritingCommunity

About halfway through the first self-edit of TDW #2, and I'm nearing that magical 100k wordcount goal! 😱🥳🤯 #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

Reading through a first draft is quite the rollercoaster: One paragraph can make you go from "I'm a genius" to "I want to crawl under a rock and never come out again" in 2.4 seconds. #WritingCommunity #amediting

I told myself to wait an entire month before editing my WIP, but I'm to excited with how this one turned out and I can't wait to keep working on it. Let's go! #writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #AuthorsOfTwitter

I’m only 50 pages in #Yellowface and I want to crawl out of my own skin. It’s been a while since I met such a toxic protagonist and I absolutely 😍 😍 what @kuangrf did with this story so far!

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

@goodreads Fourth Wing, just like every other booknerd with an internet connection these past few weeks. 🐲

Testing out new comp titles: what do you think of SHADOW AND BONE x CHILDREN OF BLOOD AND BONE? 🧐 #writingcommunity #writersoftwitter #booktwt #readerscommunity #readersoftwitter

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

I made a list of books that I was OBSESSED with as a teenager, and now can’t remember a single thing about 🤷‍♀️ What about you? Can you give a series you loved and read multiple times but now can’t remember the plot? https://t.co/9Jd0NjC6AJ

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

#writingcommunity I absolutely hate coming up with comps. Any tips or advice? Or if some awesome web designer could come up with a website where you give in your tropes and genre and it spits out comps, that would be awesome, yes please. #amwriting #amquerrying

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

I'm writing the very last scene in this draft and I'm sooo excited!🤩 It's going to be hard to put this one away for a month before I dive into the edits because I just want to KEEP GOING GIRRRL #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersoftwitter #BookTwitter

[Olivia Joyce (23k/90k) @oliviajoyce101]

I'm writing the last few scenes and it's all coming together wonderfully😁 Still lots of work to do with editing later, but right now I'm so happy and proud that I actually drafted a second book! #amwriting #amdrafting #writingcommunity
