Editing after the 1st draft is both ego bursting and exciting. You doubt your writing abilities. But then so many ideas come to mind and you feel the joy of being with these characters again.
What excites you in your editing process?

One of the biggest lessons I learned writing my first book: enjoy the process. Youβre spending your time on the activity, so have fun! I spend a couple of hours in a coffee shop fueled by the ambiance and good coffee. What do you do to enjoy your writing time? #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting

Definitely. Was hurt by my sis so created a story with her as the "villain". Gave her a redemption arc. Guess I can't stay mad π

This is my biggest struggle...it's hard to be mean to them!

One of the things I struggle with in writing...being mean to my characters.

But did you have fun writing them ? π

That's wonderful! I'm a pantser, I love the creative process of it. However I can get stuck sometimes. I started my current WIP using the Write Structure process. It gives you a road map for your story. I find it guiding and not restrictive.

Working on the character arc for my women's fiction WIP. It's almost there!

Wow...that's very brave of you...I write fiction and there's certain topics/situations I can't immerse myself in to write. What is the message you aim for? Knowing that could help in suggesting other authors.

Writing! I plan to craft at least one scene today in my WIP. I did one yesterday and I'm hoping to continue the momentum.
