How do new writers keep inspired and keep working over the course of a daunting project like a novel? Reading this is nostalgic for me since I’ve come a long way since writing this post. As of April 2018, I have published my first novel, and Feeding Frenzy has received over 141 000 reads on Wattpad. What hasn’t changed is the need to get up and work early in the morning. It’s just my best time of day for creative projects.
