Alexa WhitewolfMonday Motivation ✨<br> As an author, I often doubt myself. Are my stories good enough? Am I using the right words to convey a scene? Are my characters interesting? Will readers hate my books? And lots of other similar questions that make me spiral into a dark state of mind.😔<br> <br> But then there are moments when I read a positive review or comment, see my books climbing a chart, or get a touching email from a reader. And it fills my heart with courage, gratitude and excitement.☺️Such small things mean the world to me when I doubt myself. Even if my books won't be liked by everyone, I start believing in myself again, and I chase my writing dreams one step at a time. Word by word, chapter by chapter, book by book.<br> <br> Yeah, there are still days when I wanna give up on writing. But if I'd done it, I never would have gotten so many amazing opportunities.🤩The most recent of which is being featured in a book box - a dream I've been chasing for a while without getting much traction, but now it is finally becoming a reality.<br> <br> Thank you to the Midnight Tales Book Box team for featuring my romantasy book Secret Shadows this April. If you want to get it, along with a signed bookplate and some awesome reader swag, fill out this form: <a href="https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA</a><br> <br> ✨Don't ever give up on your dreams, even when it seems like it's pointless. Believe me, I know the feeling. But don't give up! Good things will come if you fight for them. Trust your instincts and believe in your worth.✨<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booktodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booktodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fantasybooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fantasybooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancebooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romancebooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booklover?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booklover</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendations?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookrecommendations</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookworm?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookworm</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/reading?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readingcommunity?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readingcommunity</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PNR?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PNR</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/paranormalromance?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paranormalromance</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fantasybook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fantasybook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romantasy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romantasy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/romancebooks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#romancebooks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/authorlife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#authorlife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/writerslife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writerslife</a>
Alexa Whitewolf✨ IT HAPPENED ✨<br> <br> Sorry for shouting, but oh, wow, I'm lost for words to tell you how excited I am about this! 🤩<br> <br> I've been dreaming of being featured in a book box for so long, and when I finally got an offer last year, I had to do my best to keep the secret (which was HARD, I swear 😅). But now I can finally share that I'm one of the featured authors in the Midnight Tales Book Box this April. Woohoo! 🎉<br> <br> The book is my romantasy novel Secret Shadows (a retelling of the Ancient Greek Hades &amp; Persephone myth and the legend of how The Underworld was formed). So if you haven't read it yet or you want to get a paperback copy + some awesome swag and a ✨signed✨ bookplate, now is the perfect chance to get it:<br> <br> <a href="https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/24Hp9osMrtQbQemGA</a><br> <br> A huge THANK YOU to the Midnight Tales Book Box team and also to my readers.

Alexa WhitewolfMeet Achilles 🐺<br> <br> Some days, he's my faithful guardian angel. Other days, he's a devilish troublemaker beyond comparison.😅 If you've ever had a husky, you know what the latter means, lol.<br> <br> This furball has inspired a handful of characters in my books (especially my werewolves, haha) and has gotten me through some pretty dark periods. For example, I used to get brutal migraines from too much screen time after suffering a concussion a few years ago, and my baby boy somehow KNEW it was time to pull me away from the computer before the pain kicked in. He's been with me through times of grief and times of joy, and words can't express how much I love him - even when he tries to distract me from a deadline just to get belly rubs.😆<br> <br> Do you have dogs? Or other pets?
