I’m a bit slow at the moment with writing because I have other things I need to do, but I’m working on another novel and planning some other secret things as well hehe

I take a break from writing. I try to do other things to spark my creativity again, like drawing or painting, reading, watching tv shows… somewhere in between ideas start coming to me again, and once I’m fully ready — because I don’t write right away, I let them start bubbling insidemy head — I go back to it.
Changing scenarios also help, so going to nature, or a different city are also great ideas.
And remember, take as long as you need. If your creativity is blocking is because you need a break, listen to your body and relax.

Life in general, I’m a very creative person and always create scenarios and stories in my head. Other book, films and shows also help me get inspired whenever I need a boost.

My last book HOPE I wrote right after reading AFTER by Anna Todd so I was greatly inspired by it, but as I wrote it between 2016-2019 the further away I got from my initial inspiration. Also as I grew personally and as a writer my ideas started shifting, but overall HOPE was my version of the good girl-bad boy theme except in this case I wanted to make it a little less of a cliché and destigmatise the virgin role and the bad boy was more someone who had a wounded soul.
