Het boek gaat over een meisje dat erachter komt dat ze het element van de bliksem is.
Vriendschap, fantasy, girlpower, liefde en gevecht.

Nog een fijne dag!

TIPS TO BALANCE STUDIES & WRITING
Well, many of us are students, right? But we’re writers, too - doesn’t matter if we have a book published or not. If you’re here, you have an idea, and you love writing, then you’re a writer <3 and… a student.
I am, too! And I know it is difficult sometimes because you REALLY want to write that novel, but you want to graduate! Yeah, same.
So here are a few tips that might help you with that!
Disclaimer: this is about my personal experience, and just because it works for me doesn’t mean it will work for you. :)
Tips:
- Schedule all of your assignments!!!
“Omg, so obvious…” yes (and no). I often forget to write them down in a calendar. I have all the due dates written in a sheet, but not scheduled, which makes it hard to manage my time.
Scheduling will help you to have an easy overview of everything you have to do for school/college.
- Revise everyday
I’m sorry! But I find this SO important because this way you’re always up-to-date with your studies. It won’t be so hard when you have an exam or quiz approaching, AND it won’t take as much time as it would if you’re 100% lost.
- Prompts, prompts, prompts
Is it overwhelming to keep working on your novel after a long day? Okay, don’t worry, I got you. Search for a nice prompt and write about it. It doesn’t have to be a long story (sometimes less than 1k can work just fine!)
Why do this? So that you keep writing every day.
- Track your time
I knowww this is super boring for some of you, but please, this is life-changing!
I’ve been tracking my activities for more than a year now, and it really helps me to know how long I take to do a certain thing, and how much time I’ve spent on it (in a month, week, etc.)
I recommend an APP called TOGGL TRACK, and recently I’ve discovered ACTIE, which is almost the same, but it is more for you to work on your goals.
- Set goals
Don’t write down “finish a 60K word novel”!!! Such a hugeee mistake. I did that and guess what?! I started losing motivation because the goal was TOO BIG and was taking ages to achieve.
Instead, set goals & routines like these (for example):
- Write 500 words everyday of [novel name];
- Work for 40 minutes on [novel name];
- Finish writing [number] chapters of [novel name];
- Reach 5K words;
- Write [character]’s biography / backstory;
- etc.
I hope you found this helpful! If you have more tips, feel free to add them here.
Also, if you’re interested, check out my blog on WordPress, where I publish my poems and soon will bring more content, such as some tips, resources (pdf sheets, for example), and some other nice things!
“I don’t think change is such a bad thing. We grow up, we learn new things, we experience new feelings, and we change. That’s just part of life, change is good and change is needed.”
“Always search for both the good and bad in people. Because if you’re only looking for the bad qualities within someone, that’s all you’ll ever see in them.”
“I don’t miss you. I just miss the idea of you.”
Winter Days
We were stuck in the middle of the biggest blizzard of the year and out of just curiosity, you suggested we go for a walk. I laughed at your silly statement and to my surprise, I found myself agreeing. And so I engulfed myself in my new black parka, slipped on my fuzz coated boots, and reached out for your hand. You led me first, making imprints for my following steps. And without me knowing, you stopped in your tracks and so the tip of my nose bumped into the broadness of your back. You turned around and looked down at me and I swear— as cliche as it sounds. The moment your eyes fell on me, my whole body felt like summer. Heat from within flourished every inch of my body and I felt like it was August 28th; the day we first met, all over again.
I wish there was a chance
for me to be alright
I wish there was a chance
to have a quite good life
