I FINISHED MY DEVELOPMENTAL EDITS!!! ✨️💖💪👏📚✍️
#writingcommunity

Okay so, I'm 3/4 of the way through editing my book for its developmental edit.

I've added about 11k words 😅

1. Whoever said I'd end up reducing the word count near the end - THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED.
2. I now feel like I need an entire second developmental edit 💀

Oh nice! I tend to write on weekends and start my working week bleary eyed and brain dead 😅

Good plan, I don't think that'll work for me as I've already got 3, maybe 4 books planned 😅

Broke the 130k word count threshold last night 🫣

Disclaimer: I'm half way through developmental edits for my 3rd draft 😅

When will the word count stop growing? Who knows. Will I keep going? Absolutely. 📚

That's a lot of pets!

Omg I didn't know that was a feature. Im adding it to my feed!

That sounds pretty unique!!

That's awesome! So hard writing with a job isn't it?

Sounds pretty interesting to me! Just want my algorithm tailored to books and writers in general

I'll be super intrigued too 😂😂 hope she likes it

Taking BlueSKY to a whole new level

Omg hey! I'm a writer with a dog 😂

Exciting! I'm still yet to look at how to create a query letter, agents and MSWL

Sameeee! How far in the process are you?

I need more accounts to follow! HMU if you're any of the following:

• Writers
▪︎ Authors
• Editors
▪︎ Book cover designers
• Illustrators/Artists

My feed is full of politics and I would like to change that 🩵

Back to editing today and apparently I'm throwing caution to the wind because I've added an entire 🌶 scene and rewrote an entire chapter when my editor's feedback was just "how would this make her feel".

Had wholesome quality time with my love, good food & drink and a West end show that made me laugh till I cried 💖

It's good to remember there's a life outside of writing. I've had 3 full days away from editing my novel, my socials, even my laptop!

That being said... I'll be back to it tomorrow 😂✍️

Dear Algorithm, please connect me with readers & writers who love...

🔮 Fantasy
❤️ Romantasy
🗡 Enemies to Lovers
⚓️ Pirates
🔥 Smutty smutsmutsmut

Get into bed ready to do some editing on a Friday night and my body has the audacity to actually be tired FOR ONCE at a reasonable hour 🙄

When you have to unalive a character in your novel.... 🥺💔✍️

Just got my first feedback from beta readers and we're squealing over WhatsApp 🥺🥰🤪

Is this what it feels like for people to love your writing? I can get used to it 💖

Developmental edits are a lot on the brain, and yes, I do have a headache 🥴
