I couldnt even open my old account and it’s my account …

I think I’m going to have to open a twitter account just for this …

I celebrate every time I sit down to write. That’s a win in my book!

Hey saw your bio and I’m also writing ya contemporary with an element of mystery and just wanted to hi! Don’t see many of us around :)

Day 1 of 50 chapters in 50 days revision challenge.

Chapter one needs more than a day and it shows. 2 days at least. Same for chapter two, I think.

It’s 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 revising…

This is the most frightened I’ve been since I started.

Hate describing things. This would be like Xmas for me

Hmmm I think as long as it’s foreshadowing and addressed later, it’s all good. Just enough to want me reading more.

There is nothing more satisfying than writing the last line of a chapter and it pulls everything together, like the chapter was a short story in its own right.

Ah ok I thought I might have made a typo lol

I also feel like this. But go with your gut. Sometimes we don’t need to outline but you’ll know when you do!

The first few chapters deserve all that love. But yes that fresh perspective, having written the first draft to the end, mind blowing

I just don’t get it. But maybe like Colleen, who I believe self published, you keep writing and writing and writing and build and fandom and if it’s meant to happen, it does!

Oo maybe. I don’t think I have the chops tbh!

When I stop cringing. But seriously. When I love the scene so much I keep rereading it :)

It’s doing that and then starting the next one that I find hard

Hop on the rollercoaster in never-maybe-definitely land

The scariest thing about rewriting my first chapters is that I love them.

They are becoming the yardstick for the rest of my MS.

I’ll add on another 3 months before I’m ready to query..

I thought it would have taken off by now…strange it hasn’t. But it only takes one. Wasn’t Colleen Hoover considered NA at some point ?

I prefer to think of it like this: what if I don’t?

I write ya but I am on a huge psychological thriller push. To the point I want to write one ..

As I Frankenstein parts of my MS, wishing the arms and legs were still attached to the original torso of my first draft, I forget:

Those parts came from dead bodies.

And now they are alive.

This is me. I need a lot of breaks. I usually fine reading makes me feel like guilty but yep bring me those breaks!

Having to write all day to meet my personal goal.

To avoid eating all day, this day shall hereby be called The Day of Thirty Teas.

I know lol. A bit of a conundrum. I don’t think I’d trust them. Even if they did think like me

Thank you! You, too :)

It’s just a few chapters for me. But it’s the first four chapters where exposition is super important :( and I feel like I can’t move on til it’s done right

Here’s a question:
If you could hand your first draft to a hive-mind twin to complete the next draft - so you could start another MS - would you?

Or would you like to be the one that refines those imperfections?

This is the part of rewriting I hate most. Absolutely can not stand it!

This is my crutch also
