On the positive news, I've sent the first novel out to the editor, and should hear back in a month. Then it's two more drafts, and it should be ready to publish!
And that's part 4 of my novel done. The last chapter took a bit longer than I anticipated because of life, but still making progress. 1 more part and it's done!
Finished 2nd draft of part 3 of my novel. Only 2 more parts to go! Should have first drafts done by the end of September, and 2nd drafts by end of October.
Solid 2 weeks for writing. Caught up on where I was behind and even got a little ahead. Did some drawing too, and I think I'm going to continue with 1 drawing every 2 weeks.
Also made some decisions regarding publishing that I think will be good for me.
And that's book 2 of my novel done. Still needs editing, but I've been making great progress since stalling out last summer. The changes I've been making to my life have really been paying off.
3 more books to go! At this pace I should have it done by the end of the year.
Hearing someone else read your stories really helps you know your flaws as a writer. I have a tendency to prize accuracy of description over emotive language. Thus, in emotionally charged situations, my writing can sound clinical.
Just finished a short story that hopefully will be published in an anthology. It'll be good to be in print again; I think it'll help keep me motivated to finish my novel.
The most difficult part of writing is believing that you'll have an audience.😂
