Hello, lovely people! It’s been a while, but I’m back with a little update on Dear Hypnos:
(This is just a copy and paste job from a Tweet thread I shared on Twitter, so if you follow me, you may have already seen this! Still, I wanted to update any blog-goers who may be passing by..)
Some of you already know this, but I’ll repeat myself for those who don’t. For most of this year, I’ve been working on my debut poetry collection, exploring my struggle with insomnia. I finished editing it a month ago.
However, I have yet to do anything with it since.
I found that, the longer I left it, the less I actually wanted to publish it. It was causing me so much stress, just fueling my anxiety and depression further. So I ignored it.
Until now.
I’ve decided I’ve had enough of feeling sad and sorry for myself. I will pull myself out of this rut, and I’ll publish this damn poetry collection.
I just want to thank everyone for being patient with me. I’m grateful that so many of you have shown interest in my work. So hopefully, soon, Dear Hypnos will get a cover reveal, and then a release date. Just please be patient a while longer. I love you all.
That’s all now. Sophie, signing off!
