Writer in NYC Diaries ✍🏼🗽finding writer friends, new york asian film festival, apartment hunting

hi! if you're like me and struggling with burnout, finding fellow writer friends have truly helped me keep going! my advice would be to not be afraid to reach out, make a writer/bookstagram, and connect with as many creatives as possible. we're all in this together! which is also why I've enjoyed learning to play pickleball for the first time, going to the New York Asian Film Festival this week plus meeting new friends at Rockaway Beach. Thank you for watching!
