Currently editing for my 2nd round of betas! Do y'all go through multiple rounds of beta reads? How many beta readers do you typically get for each book?

Would you keep writing even if you knew no other soul would ever read your words? ✍️

The changing of seasons always puts me in such a buzzy creative mood. Gotta harness this energy while it's here!

Fall is such a fun season for gardeners. My persimmons are coming ready for their first harvest!

I decided to try writing a MG story as my next project after reflecting on the MG books I've read. Those stories had a big impact on my early life and were the gateway to my love of reading. It would be wonderful to reach the next generation of young readers 💖

It is currently 68F in my house and I am resisting every urge to turn on the heater. It will warm up! Just need to hope my fingers don't fall off before then!
Haha I have a love/hate relationship with the characters running away with the plot 😅 it is super fun when the start acting on their own, though!
Ooh that is fun but so challenging to get right!
I just love worldbuilding. What's your favorite part of the writing process?

I had to take a mental health break because termites were eating my house and I started a new job and I felt like my life was in free fall.

BUT I've been consistently writing for about 3 weeks so I can happily say I'm back! ✍️

Sat down to edit yesterday and experienced crazy brain fog. Turned out I was hungry. Fuel for the body is fuel for the brain. A little reminder to take care of yourselves, friends 💖

I'm the same! I actually enjoy it when I can guess the answer before the big reveal, but it can't be too easy or I feel cheated. Definitely a delicate balance...
Currently struggling with whether or not dropping more hints and foreshadowing earlier in the story will help with the final payoff or hurt it. 🙃

I'm here for any tips or notes. ✍️

When you start brainstorming a new story, do you typically begin with vibes, plot, or characters? ✍️

#writingcommunity
Nope, maybe someday, but right now all I have is ✨️vibes✨️ lol
Every now and then, I get the urge to write a sci-fi spaghetti western with an MC named Buck Fingermoon. 🌚

Some beautiful vibrant peppers harvested from my garden 😍

I started using a sunrise alarm about 6 months ago, and it makes it so much easier to get up and write when it's still dark out.

So true! I just need to figure out when that point is 😅
Why does editing take so long?! 😫 I swear I could run on this hamster wheel to perfection forever.

Puggles must be protected at all costs 😍

"How long does it take you to finish writing something?"

Anywhere between a few months to "I don't want to talk about it."
I've spent so much time with my book lately, that I've gotten to the point where I genuinely cannot tell what is good and what is garbage. That probably means I should take a break, but I'm so close to finishing this round of edits! 🙃

Using a text to speech app to listen to your book is such a good way to catch random mistakes in your manuscript. I just realized I forgot to change a character's name in two chapters ✍️
