Soooooo been quiet around here because I've been busy in finalizing first book things, including setting up my author account. 😬 If you'd like to follow me over at @eremitagray.bsky.social please do. I'll post ALL the book things there. #AmWriting #IndieAuthor #WritingCommunity

More evidence at how bad I am from stepping back -- I'm already outlining book 2. 🤦‍♀️ The opening scenes for the first chapter are already rough-sketched. 😅 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky #Book1 #Book2

Can't stay out of my book even when I'm trying to give my brain a rest, so been working on my series bible and honestly, I'm really proud of all my worldbuilding and lore. Like, I might actually be good at it. 😅 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Haha, you already asked. 😁 I'll make a separate post when I'm ready for beta readers. ;)

When I'm ready, I'll put a link out. :)

Not just yet! I'll be vetting some once I've got the manuscript ready to send out. :)

Draft 3 is DONE! 🎉🎉 Time for a few days off before I dive back in for a pre beta reader polish. 🖌

So anyway, been buried in revisions, basically rewrote half the book, the final chapters are FINALLY in sight.

Anyway, how's fall treating everyone? #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Oof, the revision fatigue is hitting hard today. 🥱🥱 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

This feels like me to me. No, I will not elaborate.

I mean, that reasoning seems pretty solid to me. 🤷‍♀️

Oh sweet. Definitely gonna check it out then! Depending on how revisions go, I might start draft 1 of the second book. 😁

Ooh, I love this! Feels like a really nice replacement for NaNoWriMo. If I wasn't deep in revisions right now, I'd definitely jump on this. It sounds fun!

My MMC's got me over here blushing in the Daily Grind. 👀👀 Revisions are going well I guess. 🫣 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Happy Monday! Happy September! Feeling back in my groove with draft 3 now that I got chapter 13 right. How's everyone else feeling today?? #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Just spent 3 days reworking 4 different versions of a single chapter but I think it's finally where I want it. If not, that's what draft 4 is for? 😬😬😬 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

PMS + med changes certainly do a number on my self-confidence with this whole writing thing. 😅 Went from "this is it! This is THE draft" to "why did I literally quit my day job????" #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Man, draft 2 was a slog. Draft 3 has me soaring. I feel like I am NAILING these revisions. ✌️ #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Revisions have been such a wild ride, both in discovering the story I want to tell, and my instincts as a writer. Now that draft 3 is underway, I'm encountering my first true "kill your darlings" moment. And I'm weirdly okay about it. #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

That sounds so fun!

Working on draft 3! It's been really coming together, but the effort has been a much slower process than even draft 2. It's a good thing though, I think.

Been working on draft 3 this week and it's going surprisingly well. Think this might be the one that makes it to beta readers! 🤞🤞 #writing #WIP #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #WriteSky

Omg, what a face. 😂

So he can come up with some stupid reason to restrict access I'm sure. 🙄

Jfc I hate it here.

Halfway through A Court of Frost and Starlight. Definitely beginning to see why Rhysand haters exist. I have so many questions for SJM regarding his character. Like, what happened???
