The book is no longer a shining vision in my head, but a concrete thing, something apart from myself that can be assessed and used to gauge not the writing ability I aspire to have or wish I had, but that I actually have. 3/

If I ever have to take a 228,000 word novel and condense it into a 1 page synopsis ever again I’m gonna crash out. I’m still recovering from it.

Hi, everyone! The story I'm writing is chugging along nicely - I'm at just over 30 pages now, which both seems like a lot and not very much at all. I started this summer, got like three pages in, then set it down until recently. #smallauthor #firsttimeauthor #firstbook #wip

The draft is currently over 27,000 words and I am currently estimating it will be about 30,000 by the time I'm done. 3/ #estimatesubjecttochange #Insupportable #longtimeblogger #firsttimeauthor

I had a self determined first draft due date.
Tell me why I’m writing like I’m about to lose my publishing deal. 😂
I NEED TO HAVE A DRAFT ON THE 10th!

I'm finding out that having written a book for publication -- something I have wanted to do since I could write in complete sentences -- is a double-edged sword. I mean, sure, I wrote a book! But also... I wrote a book. 2/

TFW you need a line/copy editor for your novel but you're broke and too dumb to do it yourself.
