High fat and high sugar! Least I know what Iβm in for
11.10.2025 21:36 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I wonder if we should look at writing trends as shifts instead.
With the low-fat trend, we learned that it doesnβt mean low sugar or low calorie. Wonβt forget that.
And this protein hype. Weβre always going to be aware of its importance. Wonβt forget that.
Food for thought

Chapter one needs more than a day and it shows. 2 days at least. Same for chapter two, I think.
Itβs the first ten pages. It deserves the extra attention, right?

I have 50 chapters ready for draft 2 revision
Plots fixed, scenes relevant, character development evident.
Just need to start revisingβ¦
This is the most frightened Iβve been since I started.

Ah ok I thought I might have made a typo lol
11.02.2025 01:05 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I also feel like this. But go with your gut. Sometimes we donβt need to outline but youβll know when you do!
11.02.2025 00:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The first few chapters deserve all that love. But yes that fresh perspective, having written the first draft to the end, mind blowing

I thought it would have taken off by nowβ¦strange it hasnβt. But it only takes one. Wasnβt Colleen Hoover considered NA at some point ?
