2023 Writing Wrapped and 2024 spoilers | #105
Hello, this is Celeste. I have been writing poems since 2017 and fantasy fiction since 2022. Letters for Creatives is the place where I share my thoughts on creativity, share resources for creatives and interview creators and authors. Welcome 53 new readers of this creative tribe since the last letter. 2023 Writing WrappedI am sure you are familiar with Spotify Wrapped. I was obsessed with ODESZA. But this year, I have been listening to more instrumental music because I have been working on my novel draft. Let’s put a twist on that and turn that into Writing Wrapped. The most I have written a day (fiction): 1462 words Total word count for my first novel Project Dylan as of now: 13,880 words Genre that I have written: Detective crime fiction 2023 Newsletter WrappedYou can take a look at 2023 creative challenges and the annual review for 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Newsletter auditIt has been months that I have been thinking about revamping the newsletter (yes, again). I have been writing about productivity, burn out, creativity and writing. I am sure that you have vastly different interests. Some of you are entrepreneurs and indie creators, who tend to think more about business and productivity. I tend to think about business and obsess about optimization for a period of time. Then I would think about writing, creativity and storytelling for other times. I tend to write about the topics that interest me at the time. That swing would probably never end. But I need your feedback on this newsletter because you are the one reading it. I would like to give the most value in each letter.
Let me know in the comments or hit reply in the email (I am planning to go all in on this newsletter, so your roasting would be very helpful):
