What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months?
This year I will turn 29 and my birthdays can sometimes be exhausting experiences for me. I am slowly exiting my 20ies and I haven’t accomplished a lot of the things I wanted and I am already preparing myself that this birthday might bring with it a sense of urgency and that I will need to deal with the negative emotions linked to me approaching the number 30. I objectively know that my life will not stop on 16.07.2026 when I turn 30, but I do have a lot of fear linked to that number that I have to work through.
Another big challenge I have this year is to continue writing and working on The Stanhill Series. I published Little Rebellion in February 2024 and it was a big step for me. I spent most of last year dealing with writers block, the void that was left when I was done with the book and first negative reviews. I am already working on the sequel so hopefully, I will not fall into my bad habits and I will finish it this year.
I think that another big challenge for me will be maintaining discipline. I know what works for me and what keeps me sane and stable, but sometimes I will just go off path and it takes me months to get myself back together. These periods hit me the hardest because I lose my creativity, I stop writing and then I just stew in my own misery, avoid the outside and I literally do not want to be around people because I am so emotionally drained.
There’s more, but I cannot fit it all into one post. What are some of your biggest challenges this year? Do you have some goals you want to reach?
Love,
Luna
