15.5 months and 78,185 words later, I'm done the fourth draft of my novel! 🥳 🥹 Definitely bittersweet, but I'm so happy and proud to have gotten to this point. I've still got plenty of work to do, but, for now, I'm going to focus on celebrating. #AmWriting#WritingCommunity
Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that Im officially moving away from X. Ill keep this account for posterity but I won't post new content. If you want to keep following me you can find my other profiles at https://t.co/TTwmy6OlSv. Thanks for the memories these last ten years!
Ok change of plans: no vlog this month.
Instead: I’m going to start fresh next year and encourage myself to make at least one video per month. If you have topic ideas let me know!
I made a BlueSky account! I'll still be keeping my personal and professional Facebook pages and my X account (at least for now), but this will be another way to connect with me primarily for writing content but also life stuff. https://t.co/kkzMeaaUWR
Got to spend almost three hours editing my book today and it felt great! Working hard on getting this manuscript query ready! #AmWriting#AmEditing#WritingCommunity
After a one week break I started working on my novel again yesterday. Now it's time to really fine tune everything and make it shine. #AmWriting#AmEditing#WritingCommunity
I finished the 5th draft of my novel! This was the first edited draft, not one written from scratch which is exciting. In making this draft I improved the content, completely replaced a scene, and cut 5,570 words!
Next up: a short break followed by more edits to create draft #6!
My YouTube channel turns 10 today! In the past 10 years I've learned a ton about editing & become way more comfortable on camera. I may not be the most consistent with posting but I love making videos & Im so glad I pushed myself to create my channel! 🥳 https://t.co/bakYtejnaC
Good luck to everyone participating in Camp NaNoWriMo next month! (Or this month if it's already April where you live.) I won't be participating this time around but I hope you all have an awesome month of literary abandon!
Out of random curiosity I decided to go back and look at the really really old versions of my novel (2016-2019) and one of the partial drafts starts with "once upon a time." This isn't a fairytale. What was I doing? 🤣 (I'm saying this lovingly.) #AmWriting#WritingCommunity
