Starting my latest draft and compiling all my handwritten notes into one place on my laptop. #Writinglife #SFFwriter #queerlit #disabilitylit #duology #firstdraft
Wrote some thoughts as I go into Act 3 of my first novel on my substack. I'm mostly singing into the void over there, which is not a bad thing tbh. But if you are interested in my ramblings as I write my first book, here they are!

And with that, we're in Act 3. My first draft is messy, inconsistent, and there is SO much work to do to distinguish my character voices. And I'm already so proud of it. 55k words in, closing in on the finish here!

Your story isn't bad.
It's just not fully shaped yet.
And sometimes, you're too close to see what needs fixing.
That's why beta reader exist,
Authors, what part of your story are you overthinking right now?

Why do I keep insisting on banging my head against a wall with this tournament story, when I have a completed outline for my original idea sitting right here?
#writing #firstdraft #outline
I played the crooked deal as if it were straight,
And watched the table’s pity curdle into awe,
When I trumped my own misfortune,
With a patience none of them had drawn.

We are a species obsessed with the “there.”
We treat our “here” like a bus station we tolerate until the real life starts.

I know it's "just" a first draft but the fact that I'm finally letting myself write it feels glorious 😎

#WritingCommunity #Writing #AmWriting #WriteSky #FirstDraft
Wrote 241 words today (I'm at 55550, was tempted to write just 5 more words) and finished typing up my MC's notes. I'm very close to finished typing them all up, then I can continue writing scene descriptions.

Well it took longer than expected, (life kept getting in the way, 😅) but I am almost finished the first draft of The Desire in The Damned book 2!
There’s still a lot of editing to do but thing so how much more steady pace moving forward 😊

As a beta reader I help writers strengthen moments like this so the emotion, chemistry, and pacing hit exactly where they should.
Writers, tell me…
What’s your favorite trope to write, enemies to lovers, forbidden love, or slow burn?

As a beta reader and book editor, I help writers turn beautiful ideas into scenes that truly stay with their readers. The goal isn’t just to tell a story, it’s to make people experience it.

This is so relatable!
The worst part of the #writingprocess for me is getting the #firstdraft down before I "lose it"... 😏🤷🏽👍🏽
