I have been using a tool to motivate me… no… guilt me into finishing my 2 year novel project. Here’s me talking about the app that I built.

Back to editing my novel.
This is the last-but-one draft—final structural edits based on earlier notes.
Tedious, slow, and still a long way to go… but this is the final stretch.

1,850 words edited. Fixing dialogues, mistakes and inserting appropriate foreshadowing. It’s fun…

It was a fruitful Saturday.
I am slowly getting into the rhythm of Editing.
Even so, I am running behind. That's why I still have the 🐢 badge.

2.5 does sound better than 1.5....
I have started the first phase of editing my debut 203K worded novel.
This is my progress report at the moment...

In my animal epic fantasy, stars are ancestors watching over the living after sunset. The sky is their final home. Evil critters? They rot in the ground and become food for others.
Trying to keep this clever but clear... think you can top it?

After finishing my 203k manuscript, I thought I would want to stay away from it, at least for a week. But I so want to dive in back and start editing.

I had an opportunity... AND I AM TAKING IT!
3 more chapters to go... and about 22 hours remaining. Can I... Can I?? 🤞

I have this wild urge to just focus on my novel for the next 24 hours. Dishes washed, Clothes folded, Dinner sorted... My family is off doing festive things, so if I ignore them for a bit, they probably won’t even notice. Honestly, I might just dive in and start writing. Hmmm…

After exploring quite a bit of fantasy nap creation tools, I finally settled with - my super scratchy amateurish skills.
Now that I procrastinated enough, going back to writing my final 4 chapters.
Do you want to see what I cooked up though ? 👇

My priority used to be World Building, Plot then Characters. But my current WIP flipped the script... Character came first. At least the main three.
How do you handle them? And what's more fun for you?

Are there any tools to create maps?
I need to create some diagrams of
Landscapes
Dungeons
Castles
Mansions
and few more interesting landmarks.
If it is free to use, that will be a bonus!

Currently pursuing 3rd Limited Past in my novel about a large bear, a flightless owl and magicless wizard monkey.
Somehow 1st person continuous feels very jarring to me. I think it will be fantastic for horror or thriller stories though
