Chasing words
I send my mind into darkness
Chasing words like an addict
And it feels like dying every time,
But I still cherish each line
Like it's the last one.
You know I wouldn't change this fate
Because it’s everything I have,
The only way I find relief
And I have you,
Your smile, your beautiful eyes –
Lighting up the cage that I'm in
You're standing there watching,
Forgiving my faults, keeping my head up
I don't know how to say it better
That I love you
And I love this cursed life.
~ A. A. Roman

A Few Bad Days
-
What if I wrote honestly?
What if I told you it feels
As if the roots of the earth
Have tangled themselves up from my every step?
Buried themselves in my heart so deep,
It feels impossible to move?
That humid days make me feel hopeless,
That today, I wanted to love you,
I opened the window
And the moisture of the air
Drifted inside like steam off a hot apple pie in late October-
Suffocating me.
I want to see the world so badly in art,
With all its colors and glory.
But I can't.
My mind writes about everything it sees.
The sensations I don't understand,
The desire for intimacy in my solitude,
And you.
If I wrote honestly,
I doubt it would make much sense.
So I won't.

free resources to write a novel in 2024
hello hello! it's me, rach!
as the new year approaches, many of us set goals and resolutions - myself included. one of my goals for 2024 is to write a novel (I've been procrastinating on this for quite a long time now). i assume that some of you might have the same goal, that's why I'm writing this post today.
over 2023 i've been releasing some freebies for authors just like me, so I thought I could compile my favorites in this post. hope you find this useful :)
1) the writer's workbook
this workbook has over 60 exercises to help you develop characters, scenarios, etc. if you're ever stuck, I'm pretty sure this workbook will be your best friend.
2) author's corner (notion template)
this is the most downloaded freebie in my shop! it is a notion dashboard with everything you need to organize your writing and has some templates included (like scrivener)!!
3) another notion template
this one has two themes you can choose from: cottage-core and dark academia. they're very similar to the previous template, but this one is more recent and I added some new features. feel free to explore both and pick the one you like the most.
4) the author's journal
this is a cute printable with 20 pages that will help you stay on track and manage your social media accounts as a writer who shares their work online. you can also register what you're currently writing and your personal research and resources.
5) plan your book printable
this is a 6-page printable for you to fill out and plan your book easily and effectively.
6) excel sheet to organize tasks & word-count
this is a simple excel sheet, but it is very effective for keeping track of your tasks & word-count of your novels. also, it is 100% customizable to your liking!
that's all for now! feel free to explore my gumroad shop where I have plenty of freebies to grab! also, don't forget to subscribe so that you never miss any opportunity to get a goodie for free :)
hope this post was useful!
have a nice day,
rach

Stop shaming people for being passionate about the things that they love. Stop mocking people for having unusual interests. Like, honestly, I’m so tired of feeling embarrassed for being "too much". If being too much means having deep interests that fill my life with romanticism and excitement, then let me be!! I’d much rather listen to anyone ranting about their latest obsession with 16th century swords than have a boring ordinary conversation with those who shame passionate people.

I can’t let him read my poetry because how could I go back to being strangers with someone who has seen my soul?
