I finished the 2nd draft of this book feeling nervous but reading it back I think it might be the best thing I’ve ever written.
Still got some tweaking to do before it’s ready for eyes but check out this guide to TROUBLE THE WATERS, a historical fantasy about Black resistance, protection & magic ✨

Should I have waited until after finishing this draft to start my Ember in the Ashes reread? Maybe so. But here I am inching closer and closer to book 2

My fam’s not gathering til tomorrow so today’s been another writing day. 1862 words so far! This chapter I had to write nearly from scratch but the next one is mostly just revising so I might try to tackle it after I eat and do a little food prep.

Ended up combining the two scenes. 716 words to close out the chapter
