A journal with an image of the moon, and five pens in different shades of purple, against a backdrop of fall leaves

I've got a fair bit to think about, especially when it comes to deciding the best way to hone each of my most difficult characters. I don't think I'm going to cut any of them as of yet, but there's going to be some rejigging... #writesky #writingcommunity #novelediting #fantasynovel
Day 1 at editing retreat - we're focusing on the core goal/theme of our respective works, and about the importance of a single goal for your protagonist to make for a compelling, engaging story.
